The Fundraising Houseparty
By Morrie Warshawski; 58 pages; published by Morrie Warshawski
The fundraising houseparty can be a useful and flexible method of soliciting donations from individuals. However, as author Morrie Warshawski makes clear, it takes more than a few phone calls and some appetizers to make it a success. Proper planning, execution, and follow-up are all equally important steps in the process and this brief guide offers plenty of tips, resources and suggestions to help any organization raise money in this type of setting.
Warshawski covers all the bases, from recruiting the host committee, to sending
out invitations, making the presentation, and writing the thank-you letters.
Included are a pre-party checklist, sample letters and invitations, and even
a script that can be used during the all-important ask. These are guidelines
that can be adapted to almost any situation, cause, or size of organization.
So, whether you are raising funds for your local skating club, or trying to
garner support for the construction of a new library, The Fundraising Houseparty
offers expertise that will help you share your story and inspire others to
get involved in your project.
