Fundraising Cruises - the new Innovative Fundraising Event Idea
Published Wednesday, March 6th 2013 - Updated Friday, March 8th 2013
Are you looking for a new idea for a fundraiser for a non-profit organization? "Fundraising Cruises" are becoming more and more popular...so why use a cruise?
Well we've all seen the usual fundraising projects such as selling chocolate or wrapping paper etc. - but it is a lot of work for non-profits such as schools & churches etc. and often does not bring in the dollars they need. "Silent Auctions" are known to bring in bigger bucks, but are exhausting to plan and prepare for. "Black Tie" affairs with celebrity performers are always a hit - but require an enormous amount of up-front funding.
Now cruises on the other hand give your organization the ability to bring in large amounts of proceeds without the work! A "fundraiser cruise" gives nonprofits the ability to generate greater interest - cruises get attention as people love to travel - and they have lots of fun as they come together in the spirit of giving & support, which tends to increase donor giving.
So how does it work? As a Cruise Planners specialist, we can work with you to customize a cruise for your group. We can aid in the planning and preparing - leaving the non-profit staff time to enjoy the cruise as much as the donors who are attending. We can organize meeting space for your group for no extra charge for events such as educational seminars, trade shows, a private cocktail party, or an onboard event to recognize efforts of your largest donors. You can also distribute gift bags and collateral on your organization's accomplishments & goals.
Fundraising group cruises are not only FUN, but a super benefit to a worthy cause! When you give donors something to get excited about, they reward you with consistent funding. In addition, a fundraising cruise creates a buzz after the event - and brings new people into the mix for future events!
