Singing Messages
Are you a part of a choir, quartet, or musicministry? If you are, then why not use the talents you already have to raise money. Your music can help your nonprofit organization or music ministry raise fundsand awareness. Here are a few ways to start out on the road to music fame.Singing Valentines
A singing valentine is a great way to top off that special day for your loved one. Your group simply sells this service about one month prior to Valentine's Day. A purchaser will pay from $5 to $10 depending on the song that they choose for the recipient.
On Valentine's Day your vocal group arrives at the place of business or home of the recipient and sing the Valentine's message. It would be best to go in pairs and not as a whole group. That way you can maximize the number of recipients visited.
For an additional $3 offer to present a personalized card to the recipient or for $5 extra a coffee mug filled with Hershey's Kisses to fit the theme.
Be sure to dress the part. Each singing team could wear matching red hats with red and white clothing or something unique with the Valentine's theme.
Consider, nursing home residents, businesses, nonprofit volunteers (for recognition), and retirement villages as potential recipients. Contact the administrative offices to offer a flyer about your services for the family members of the resident or business member.
More Holidays
Don't forget other special days that can liven up a person's day. Try Secretary's Day, Bosses Day, Grandparents Day and the like. It probably wouldn't be feasible to sing for birthdays since the time available to get your vocal group together may be sporadic and unsuccessful. Stick to one-day holidays.
Special Events
Your vocal group, choir, Sweet Adeline's Choral Group, or quartet should offer special engagements for a fee. Charge $200 to $500 to sing for a special dinner, banquet, or ceremony for mainstream nonprofits or businesses.
A business that has a staff appreciation dinner or Christmas party will love having a genuine singing group at their event. A nonprofit auction or volunteer appreciation dinner will be wildly successful with your vocal talents represented at their event.
Make sure to have special recordings or other items for sale that might bring in additional revenue from each event.
Get The Word Out
Your task will be to contact as many of potential customers as possible.
Are you a high school choir? Send a flyer to all of the parents of choir members, contact the newspaper with a press release, and contact businesses and nonprofit agencies in your town.
Are you a Policeman's Quartet, harmony group, or youth vocal group? Contact co-workers, business acquaintances, and church membership rolls.
The hardest part with this fundraiser is "booking" your gigs. However, once this is done, then you are free to have fun and share with others your special talents and show others the worth of your nonprofit organization's mission.
