Planning fundraisers

Here are some tips to help you plan your fundraiser:

• Develop a plan - Put together a plan and schedule the event. Determine what needs to be done, when it needs to be done by and who will do it.
• Start planning early - Particularly important if you’re booking facilities, requiring insurance, applying for permissions or inviting a guest speaker. These may take time. You will also be prepared if something crops up that wasn’t scheduled.
• Ask for help - Invite family and friends to help at each stage of the event.
• Promote your activity - Promote your activity widely through a variety of methods.
• Permissions and regulations - Make sure you get all the necessary permissions and have covered all regulations. Examples include:
  For all activities check if you need to register with the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing. Their website features a range of fact sheets and applications.
  If the event is not on the club’s premises, check with the local council for permission to use a public facility or area.
  If you’re serving food you’ll need to comply with health and food regulations.
• Give thanks - Remember to thank everyone. People are giving up their time and resources to help.
