You are never too young to make a difference in fundraising.
Burlington, Vermont-based Davis Studio is giving children the opportunity to let their creative juices flow for a great cause. Partnering with the Vermont Children’s Trust Fund and The Humane Society of Chittenden County, Davis Studio will host painting classes for area children beginning on March 16. Paintings will then be auctioned off May 6 at Shelburne Farms Coach Barn.
Including children in fundraiser events is a great idea to get the whole family involved and maximize fundraising success. Along with raising funds for a good cause, it also helps to shape children to become the young philanthropists of tomorrow.
Davis Studio, and others hosting similar events, can take its event to the next level by encouraging audience participation and interaction. We’ve come up with three ideas for maximizing fundraiser event success through audience interaction:
1. Honor the “Most Unique Painting,” the “Best Use of Color” or the “Artist in Training” by allowing guests to vote using keypads
2. Increase funds raised by incorporating audience response keypads that enable charity guests to place instant bids on artwork
3. Encourage a friendly “bidding war” among attendees by showing real time results of bidding with audience response systems
