Why Night Out
Network for Fundraising?
The hardest part about fund raising is the fact that it requires
people to solicit to friends and family members. The best part of
the Night Out Network Fundraising strategy is the fact that there
are no sales required on the part of your association. People love
to socialize and with the Night Out Network events, your fund raiser
is providing a fun venue for purchases to be made based on choice,
not obligation. Night Out Network vendors and sponsors also benefit
as their products are being exposed to hundreds of potential new
customers and are contributing to your worthwhile cause. People
actually seek out fun, social events making it easy for your
association to promote and get more attendees and sponsors. We’ve
coupled the concept of fun raising events, with the benefits of
direct sales fund raising and put together fund raising events that
are a win for everyone!
Free Publicity!
Local newspapers will publish group announcements free of charge, so
send them a press release about your non profit fundraising
campaign. We can help with the creation of a press release and
contacting the local newspapers. We ensure that all of the important
information is included; what you're raising money for, how people
can contact you to help and where you'll be offering your
fundraising event. Non profit groups that sell partner with Night
Out Network can easily customize a prepared press release available
online, making the publicity not only free but easy as well!
Ask Group Members to
promote Night Out Network events in Their Workplace.
Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to make more money for
your non profit fundraising campaign by inviting all friends and
colleagues to the Night Out Network events. Night Out Network
provides a customizable E-mail message that can be sent and flyers to distribute in lunch
rooms. All your members need to do is get the message out!
Include Your Non Profit
Fundraising Efforts in Other Group Events.
When you have a meeting, special presentation, Bingo night, fish
fry, or other group event, be sure to have a table promoting your
non profit fundraising events. You can have the event emcee announce
the Night Out Network fundraiser so that everyone knows the great
because you're raising money for.
Go Where the Crowds Are.
Take advantage of the traffic that grocery stores and popular
retailers get on the weekends to promote your Night Out Network
event. People are always looking for an inexpensive, fun, social
activity to do with family and friends but often don't know where to
find out about these events. Place your Night Out Network event
flyers in busy waiting area of nail salons, pizza places, doctor’s
offices (Be sure to talk to store management to ask for permission
first!).
Recruit Plenty of
Volunteers to Make Your Fundraiser FUN!
Rely on your volunteer team to help you divide all the tasks
involved in running your fundraiser. This is also an ideal
opportunity to involve your supporters in the community and gain
more Goodie Bag and Night Out Network sponsors. People like to pitch
in for a non profit they support and if they are able to help and
gain exposure for their products, it’s a win for everyone! Before
you start recruiting help, clearly identify the type of help you
need and the responsibilities of each role.

Fundraisers:
Make Your Fundraiser a
Fun Experience: By pulling together as a

Recruit Plenty of
Volunteers. Rely on your church volunteer team
to help you. Before you start asking for assistance, clearly
identify the kind of help you need and the responsibilities of each
role.
Reach Out to the
Community. Your congregation no doubt does a lot of
good work for the community. And your fundraiser is an excellent
opportunity for the community to respond with support. Invite
community members in your church directory, vendor lists, your
personal address lists and the entire congregating, to the Night Out
Network event. Attendees will have the opportunity to save money,
have fun, all the while helping your church raise valuable funds.
Make Announcements to
your Members. Be sure to mention the Night Out
Network events, sponsorship opportunity and benefits of attending a
Night Out Network fund raiser. By supporting your church fundraiser,
you can save money and help make a difference!
Ask Members to Do One
Thing When They Get Home from Church. Ask every
member to e-mail family and friends the Night Out Network event
schedule to help your church fundraiser. It's easy when you hand out
our customizable flyer after church. Our Web site features
easy-to-use e-mail tools that let you send a prewritten e-mail with
all the details. It’s easy and fun! Promote Your Church Fundraiser
in All Church Communications. Church newsletters and Web site are a
great way to communicate to church members the details of the Night
Out Network event. Be sure to submit a short article about your
church fundraiser. Explain what you're raising money for and how
people can help. Tell the congregation the benefits of their
involvements either as a sponsor or attendee.

Sports Fundraisers
Night Out Network is a win-win sports fundraiser because your team’s
supporters and event attendees have access to products and services
often only available through distributors, they can save a lot of
money with the Goodie Bag coupons, and your team makes the money it
needs to have a winning season!
Tips to Make Your School
Fund Raiser FUN!
Get Kids Involved.
If your sports group members are kids who are old enough to help, be
sure to involve them and give them as much responsibility as
possible. Fundraising is a great learning experience for kids -
they'll get valuable organizational and leadership experience while
they are raising money to help the team.
Promote Night Out Network
events at All Your Games & Team Events. Be sure to
have your fundraiser flyers available at your games and have regular
announcements detailing the events. It's as easy as setting up a
table and having someone available to answer questions, or include
the flyers with every sale at the concession stand. Best of all, you
don't even have to advertise, since people will be coming to your
games anyway!
Plan Rewards.
Local businesses (especially sporting goods retailers or other
stores the team members like) not only want to support your team
fundraising efforts, they have the huge benefit of exposure to new
customers. Night Out Network events is a great opportunity for
businesses to support the community and gain recognition. We can
provide many ideas for motivational rewards for kids that have the
most attendees and tips on how to get them at little or no cost to
your sports fundraising group.
Support Night Out Network
Sponsors. If you’re interested in hosting a Night
Out Network fund raising event, local restaurants and stores are
often willing to allow the events take place at their location. Your
family and friends can support your sports fundraiser while putting
money back in the pockets of local businesses!
Go Where the Sports Fans
Are. Take advantage of the traffic that sporting
events and sporting goods retailers get by displaying your Night Out
Network fund raising event flyer. Set up a table where fans and
patrons congregate, and be ready to tell folks all about your team,
you’re fund raising efforts and your event. (Be sure to talk to
store or venue management to ask for permission first!)
