Event Planning - Planning A Charity Event


Event planning covers many areas and charity or fund raising is one of them. Charity or fund raising for a welfare is a real noble cause and many people especially women and children are interested to participate in such activities. But one thing before planning for a charity event should be remembered is that event planning for this kind of event is quite different from other types of events. As here you have to make all the arrangements in a certain budget and try to collect maximum charity.

At times people arranging a charity event have to deal with several commercial issues which can not be ignored or else the event can completely collapse. So to avoid such mishaps you should keep some points in mind and let your event go smoothly.

The first thing to do before setting an event like this, make a team who take the responsibility and look after all the details of the organization. There would be many features concerned in the process of planning a charity event so you might need several hands to work for it. Delegation of responsibilities to appropriate persons can make it successful event so make the concerned people the member of the board.

Usually charity events are exempted from tax so it is better to inquire that whether your event qualifies for tax exemption or not so you can enjoy this advantage and plan even better. But keep all the receipts saved so you can present them to the authorities after the event.

Plan a theme for your charity event for example plan for a walk a cause or charity auction. Spread the word through internet. Take favor of a person who is good at art and make banners and posters for the event. Make a humble request to people to get a charity basket for auction.

You can arrange different stalls of used stuff like old books or old but useable house hold items; ask people who can not help by giving cash can contribute like this and try to involve as many people as you can by this.

Be prepared with alternative plan because sometimes things tend to get wrong which can spoil the whole event for example natural elements like rain fall or any extreme weather condition. In event planning you are taught to make a back up plan.

So whenever you plan a charity event keep these points in mind and remember to involve as many people as you can and make sure to involve the concerned people and make your event planning successful.
