How To Promote Your Non Profit Organization

How To Promote Your Non-Profit Event

Form a committee to promote the event. Discuss ideas of how to promote without spending a lot of money.

Food Items Sell Best. I Found This Site. Fundraising Assortments

For Craft Fairs OTC Direct, Inc Craft supplies for kids and adults, scrap-booking supplies, beads for jewelry making, Sunday School crafts, stickers & more!
I have no interests in either of these companies.

When I was 11 years old, I used to sell Christmas And All Occasion Cards, etc. door to door. This is no longer practical and I looked for a decent wholesaler but the all occasion card business isn't what it used to be in 1961. Although you could google Wholesale Christmas All Occasion Cards and see if anything appeals to you as good for fund raising sales.

Decide how much you can spend on advertising and what is available for free. Produce fliers and distribute them. You can mail them out, post them on bulletin boards or hand them out.

Make tickets that you can sell for the event. Many people will buy tickets, even if they are unable to attend the event.

Submit the event information to any and all community calendars. Generally, there is no charge for this service.

Use the internet to announce the event.
If you send an email to your friends and they send an email to their friends, the word will get out to a lot of extra individuals.

Ask local businesses to sponsor your event.  If they provide the money, they can write it off as an advertising expense and you can promote their generosity along with your event.

Publicity For Your Organization & Event
Publicity goes hand in hand with promotion, but it also goes a step further. 
Radio station and local television promotions reach the greatest audience.  Contact program directors about running promotional messages and the possibility of broadcasts from your event. 

Take lots of pictures during your event. These will make great press releases and thank-you mementos for sponsors. 

Always, always send thank-yous to your sponsors and promoters.  Send them directly to the sponsor and put thank-yous in the local newspapers.  Not only will it give your event more publicity, it will show your sponsors your appreciation of their generosity. 

Keep your organization in the news. Send press releases every time something happens in your organization, no matter how trivial it may seem. The more you get your name out there, the more people will rally around your cause.♥♥♥

Assisting Jews in the Former Soviet Union since 1975

The Adopt a Bubbe (or Zayde) program reaches out to elderly Jews and the handicapped in Ukraine and Belarus.

"Action" recruits coordinators who know their Jewish community, and asks them to find the most vulnerable Jewish retirees who need help. Many live on their own in poor conditions and some are unable to leave their homes.

With "Action" funds, coordinators purchase and deliver fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese and meats directly to their homes. When needed, "Action" has also provided eyeglasses or hearing aids, a lamp to read by, or coal for heat in the winter months.

One could almost say that; Action For Post-Soviet Jewry, works with clients one shovel or one fresh chicken, or one pair of eyeglasses at a time.

I have no association with this organization. I just think it's a great charity.

The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)


In NJ everyone financially eligible gets the heating assistance, but if one gets a doctors note saying it's medically necessary they can also get cooling (electric assistance), in the hot summer weather. Check out what your state offers. Apply Now.

I applied a month ago. I get it every year so they send me a notice when it's time to apply again. Benefits are on a first come first serve basis, so the next few weeks is the latest time to apply for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

September is usually the best time to make an appointment to apply.

Apply as soon as possible; every year, although there is still time to apply. My state accepts applications through November. But don't wait.

Eligibility
