The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising

The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising

The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising was originally produced in 2008 as a soft cover guide which provided practical ideas and advice for community groups wanting to raise funds. Topics covered in the guide included Getting Started, Planning an Event, Sponsorship, Community Funding and Marketing. It also provided details about running specific events such as discos, gala days, food stalls, raffles, tours, auctions and more.

By the end of 2009, 20,000 FREE copies had been distributed to community groups throughout the country.

Due to the demand for the information contained in the guide, The Seriously Good Guide to Fundraising is now available for purchase on CD. Click here to find out more.

Art Exhibitions
There are several ways to a hold an art exhibition and you can make it as big or as small as you choose. Some ideas include:
-An exhibition of your members' work.
-An exhibition and auction of celebrity works.
-An exhibition where individual artists contribute to a group show. You can choose to select artists based on certain criteria, or have an open exhibition.
-Partnering with an established artist to promote a solo exhibition.

Charging a small entry fee to view the exhibition is one way to raise funds, but the majority of your fundraising will occur by either auctioning donated works, or taking a percentage of all artworks sold.
