Virtual Events for Fundraising
With lockdowns and social distancing enforced all over the world due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the hardest hit has been organizations that depend on donations for support. Most have had to postpone, cancel, or rethink their fundraising schedules.

The
silver lining is the Internet-driven, online virtual
fundraising events that have given much-needed oxygen support to the
flow of donations. Holding virtual
fundraising events is trending now all over the world and even the
skeptics have found that these give better results than the traditional
in-person fundraisers.
Before you venture
into the online environment, ensure that you are on one of the best fundraising
platforms. Check whether the selected online donation site has a compelling and
highly optimized website. Your fundraiser should have a dedicated landing page
that highlights the goal and target for your fundraiser along with a
Call-to-Action button. Make the page as attractive as possible with a mission
statement, attention-grabbing headlines, and attractive visuals.
Here is one of the
most in-demand virtual fundraising
events ideas that you can successfully try out.
Online
gala dinner
For a festive
atmosphere on screen, ship each attendee to the dinner a box of party
necessities like hats, paper lanterns, or tiny decorations. You can also ship
food paid for by the attendees and ask the restaurant to donate a certain
portion of the proceeds to your charity. Find fundraising restaurants near you
and book a date online through an optimized restaurant fundraising platform.
Guests can also donate the amount that they saved on commuting, a new outfit, or
a gift had they come to the gala dinner in person.
If you had already
scheduled a gala dinner, don’t cancel it now – go online.
