I am doing a "fundraiser" for a gal to benefit a cat shelter.
I am NOT setting it up as a true Fundraiser. I am going to donate my entire commission to the shelter. So she would get 20% of the entire show sales rather than 25-30% she could get as doing it as a true FR.
What we are thinking of doing (since we are holding this as a show) is picking some items she would have gotten as Free Product and having a raffle for these items. ($1 chance/$5 for 6 chances). We are thinking what we could possibly raise more this way.
If it is a $500 show, FR = $125 (my comm + 10%) vs Reg show = $100 (my comm). But I think we could get atleast $25 in raffle money.
The only drawback is if she has an $800 show - then it would be:
FR = $240 (my comm + 15%) vs Reg show = $160 (my comm).
What would you do? Her last show was $800 - but we don't know how this is one is going to go.
We need to decide before hand to set up the "raffles".
ALSO: Does anyone else have any other ideas for raising money?? I would like to try to get her as much as possible.
I am going to offer any bookings off her show half my commission on those shows.
