Want to showcase your talented friends’ art? Let them know how passionate you are for your cause, and invite them to put up their art to the public. All proceeds go to your cause, and recognition to the artists!
Put on a ‘paint and sip’ 🖌️
If you’ve ever been in the dilemma of not wanting to skip out on wine night, but really wanting to paint something, you would understand the motive behind a ‘paint and sip’. There’s an element of uniqueness to this fundraiser because most people are not aware that painting in a relaxed and comfortable environment makes it much better. So fill your glasses, and here’s to good art and mental health!
Have an artist put on an art class 🧑🎨
Find a venue that can accommodate the class, contact an artist willing to donate their time and skills to the event, promote the fundraiser and collect the proceeds! You can choose to focus on a specific kind or medium of art, in consultation with the artist, or leave it open for your audience

Sports brings people together, and there’s no better way to capitalize on pre-game hype than to hold a fundraiser! Before anything else, invest in foldable chairs and tables, you won’t regret it, then procure spirit wear - t-shirts, flags, logos - and finally, the grill for good food.
