I know that many of you are involved in various activities with your children that involve fundraising, so I'm looking for ideas. My daughter is in a children's theater program where they perform 4 plays throughout the year. We pay a tuition that covers their costumes, instructions, etc... The theater group is a non-profit organization and for the past 7 years have been very successful in their pursuit. They have a good friendship with Pearland Parks and Recreation which has led to them being able to use some of their facilities for free. The main auditorium that is used for the plays is changing hands from Parks and Rec. and they will now be charged to use the facility. The new rules would cost them approximately $8k+ per play, meaning $32k per year over what they normally are responsible for. There are not many other venues in the area that can accommodate their needs for the large stage, lighting, and sounds that are needed for a quality production.
We'd rather not do pre-made fundraisers such as selling chocolate, coffee, etc... I feel that with school in full swing people get hammered by plenty of these types of fundraisers. I have thought of a Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum tier structure for various donors, but what would be a good price point for these levels? What could we off them for their sponsorship...may a banner displaying all the sponsors and their level of contribution?
I'm open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks,
Brandon
