Why Comedy Is an Effective Fundraising Tool

Traditional fundraising is still valuable; however, using comedy as an alternative way to fundraise creates a fun engaging experience with a broad-based audience supporting your organization.


Fundraising through comedy provides the following benefits:


  • Raises money for your programs or services
  • Educates others about your organization's mission and goals
  • Increases awareness of your cause in the community
  • Engages current donors (and potentially new ones) in a unique way
  • Creates lasting relationships between your organization and your local community


The most important part of creating long term donors, is that you have created memories that will encourage people to continue donating to the organization they feel comfortable with.

Strengthening Seattle’s Nonprofit Community

Seattle has many nonprofit organizations (hundreds) that are providing resources and programs to serve individuals, families, neighborhoods, or communities across the entire region of Seattle.


Some of the non-profit organizations areas of service include:


  • Education and Youth Development
  • Environmental Conservation/Protection
  • Health Care and Wellness
  • Homeless/Housing Assistance
  • Animal Welfare
  • Arts & Culture

Comedy fundraising events help shine a spotlight on these important missions while creating opportunities for community members to become involved.

 

Bringing People Together

One of the biggest advantages of doing a charity comedy event is that it connects people. Each time you do a charity event, you are creating many opportunities for:


  • Supporters will meet one another
  • Community members to build a relationship with each other
  • Local businesses to become involved in Non-Profit organizations
  • Individuals are able to volunteer their time at a local organization
  • A community to celebrate its accomplishments


To encourage individuals to give back to their communities through charitable acts
