How to Plan a Successful Golf Fundraiser
How to get more donations for your non-profit | How to fundraise with a golf tournament
It takes a team to organize a golf fundraiser. That’s why many organizations assemble a special committee to handle it! With each member of the committee assigned specific duties to fulfill towards a collective end goal, these groups work tirelessly to bring a charity golf fundraising event together. Here’s how committees, organizers, and event coordinators can plan an even more successful fundraising event.
Use an online registration platform
From Foursome registration to t-shirt size, having an easy-to-use platform that can collect and compile all the information you need makes life easier. Collecting flyers and forms can be overwhelming, and there’s always a chance that these pieces of paper could get lost or tossed. Filing this information and transferring written forms to a spreadsheet by hand can be a nightmare.
BirdEase removes the burden of manual data entry and automatically reports everything you need to know about your tournament. As each donation, player registration, and sponsor sign up comes in, all of the important information is automatically logged for easy access later.
Accept online payments
Paper flyers and mail-in forms are a thing of the past. With the modern convenience of making payments online, your registrants will expect and appreciate an instant sign-up experience.
BirdEase provides an easy way for organizations and event planners to create an accessible and user-friendly registration page. Participants can register to become a golfer, sponsor your event, make a donation, sign up for raffles and contests, and more. Your event-goers can make payment online from wherever they are, no postage required.
Accept outright donations
Imagine the possibilities of accepting donations online, especially for those who can’t participate but still want to support your cause. With an online platform backed by a payment processor, anyone can donate to your cause and submit payments directly to you with ease!
Get the word out
Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X have a large and potentially untapped audiences for you to promote to. Shout-out your upcoming event by sharing your event registration link to any social media platform. You’ll have a custom URL that directly links right to your event website.
If someone can’t participate but would still like to donate to your cause, they can easily pivot to making a donation.
Attract more sponsors
Your prospective sponsors will love that their company logo can be showcased on a dedicated event website. Sponsoring companies will understand the value of a public-facing registration website and how easily it can be shared to hundreds, even thousands of people.
The BirdEase platform allows for your sponsors to receive more visibility, which ensures a higher rate of success for your fundraising initiative.
Don’t go it alone
Make sure members of your committee have access to a cooperative management dashboard to share responsibilities and have the ability to access information and reports.
With BirdEase, each member of your team can have their own login to the system. For every role, your committee members can take action where they’re needed from their own dashboard login.
