Charge people who attend for the programs (or include it in an entrance fee). Everyone is happy because that way, the business gets the advertisement and the write-off, and your charity gets more money from the donation plus the program.

This is what I personally practice when fundraising! Sure, it does take a lot of time and effort but it's well worth it. I did learn this when hitting up local places is if their customer percentage when up after the philanthropy event they are more apt to donate more and more often later
ETA: Also, I've learned to hit up politians
