Hey, I’m in the same boat as you, but a little further along. My chapter is having a carnival charity event and I am trying to raise the money now.
How it works or the way I was told is you go to whoever you are trying to get money from and ask what they require, some places just need the basics but others require you to submit a proposal full of information and a budget. The first thing I would do is find out if the charity is tax exempt. A lot of companies won’t give anything unless they can claim it as a write off and if you already have the information it helps a lot.
Like I said all the companies are different but what I did was I put all the information I could into one information folder. And I’m going to send it to all of them so they all have as much information as I can give them.
Good luck ad does anyone know of a company that likes to donate? I’m still looking for some.
