Proposal: Arts Centre Fundraising - Dog Show: What's Our Problem?
Show
Prepared by Shona
Version 1.0 Date 18/10/2020
The centre’s funding is falling, and we have more work to do on the building and ambition for our community schemes
than we can afford to fund at the moment. How can we find new sources of income and funding for the arts centre, so
that we can raise £50k do better and more ambitious work – and fix the roof, too?
We will hold a fund raising celebrity dog show in the grounds of the centre this summer.
- Running a fete with bring and buy and a barbecue
- Community volunteers helping with fete and activities
- Run free taster workshops for the arts activities we offer
- Charging entry fees per dog
- Local celebrity will judge the show
- Promotion on social media and through usual events listings and promotion channels
- Sponsorship from local building firm and the brewery to help cover costs.
We’re not hiring any external PA kit to keep costs down and reduce the chances of noise complaints.
We think this will be more successful than last year’s fundraising fete, because we have more experience, and this
has more PR opportunities due to celebrity and dogs.
Community Involvement.
This is an accessible fun event that will bring in local people who would not usually visit the centre. The community will
also get involved with planning the activities for the fete.
High Enthusiasm and Engagement internally.
This is a fun event for everyone involved, so staff are excited to help out and our volunteers are also excited.
Audience development:
Good PR opportunities with local press because of celebrity, social media campaign planned by Alex. Event attracts a
different audience to our bigger more cultural events.
Sponsorship Opportunity: Our big sponsors are keen to be involved and contribute time and money; it strengthens
that relationship and covers costs.
