THE FUNDRAISING HOUSEPARTY:

HOW TO PARTY WITH A PURPOSE AND RAISE MONEY FOR YOUR CAUSE

A workshop with Morrie Warshaski



This highly participatory workshop gives a complete deconstruction of the Fundraising Houseparty – a very powerful and flexible way to raise donations from individuals for noncommercial projects media both large and small. Topics covered include:

  • What projects are appropriate for houseparties;
  • Finding and preparing the Host;
  • Who to invite;
  • Timeline for and design of invitations;
  • Program sequence for the formal presentation;
  • What type of program clip to show;
  • How to make the “ask” and who should do it;
  • Follow-up activities.

Participants are encouraged to bring in samples of their own houseparty invitations and pledge cards (actual or proposed). For an audio clip about houseparties from Warshawski's appearance on Marketplace Radio, just go to his website: www.warshawski.com
