After Dinner Speakers And Event Fundraising

Charities require a lot of money and support in order to carry out their good work across the country and overseas. Whilst many people pick a handful of causes to support on a regular basis by giving them monthly or annual donations, many people are prepared to donate their time and money to a one off, worthwhile cause on top of this as well. For centuries there have been fund raising events attended by people from every walk of life. Organisations like the Prince's Trust is just one of the charities supported by the royal family, who raise millions of pounds every year for charity. But people with less money also give to charity, every level of society has members who donate.This is what makes Britain so generous, they are always willing to help out those in need or less well off than themselves.

When compiling an invitation list, make sure people from your target audience are included. Some charities have a gender bias where one of the sexes is more likely to donate than the other, for example cancer charities that focus on testicular and prostrate cancer attract more donations from men. Breast cancer charities get more donations from women.
Wealthier people tend to sponsor charities working with animals and there are people who focus their charitable giving on local causes. If you know people already donating to your cause, invite them and you will raise more money at your event.

Promote your event in the local community and entice more people to come by using an after dinner speaker. If you choose a celebrity from the world of sport, music or politics, they are sure to attract more guests and many bring items to auction which can raise large and unexpected amounts of money.

An after dinner speaker will provide guests with a memorable experience following a humorous speech and entertaining banter. This experience will leave guests with a vivid memory of your event and the cause it was supporting, which will ensure future donations to your charity.
To raise a lot of money in little time, events prove the best forum. Reduce the amount it costs to host your event by using donated food and drink, or barter down the venue hire. Reducing your expenditure in hosting the event will mean that all the money you raise will go directly to your cause, which is after all the purpose of fund raising events.
