Easy Budget Boosters

When hosting an Outreach Event, consider pairing it with these key ideas to add an extra boost to your budget. Your group may choose to sell tickets, obtain sponsors, and even hold a church auction! Browse the strategies below for some interesting budget boosters and fundraising ideas.

BUDGET BOOSTERS CAN:

1.)  Pay for your Event – and make money for your ministry!
2.)  Support – ministries, missions, church plants, building campaigns, summer camp and any  

      other program that needs a financial boost.
3.)  Community Outreach – Combine with Outreach’s efforts to change lives for Christ.

TICKET SALES:

Boost your budget with ticket sales! There are many benefits to selling tickets at your Event…

1.)  Add Value: Pricing seats actually adds value to your guests! When guests contribute a

      personal investment, they have added incentive to express interest and come. We suggest

      starting ticket prices at $10 for a single performer (this is still heavily discounted in

      comparison with what they’d pay for the same show at a comedy club – a great value).
2.)  Remind: Guests have a physical reminder of your Event and their purchase.
3.)  Sell Out: Pack the house and sell all of your tickets. By giving guests a reason to buy early,

      you’ll bring yourself peace of mind. Publicize that only a limited number of tickets are

      available – or that tickets are sold for a discounted price for a limited time only.

NOTE:

Sell tickets before and after church services, youth group sales, the local Christian bookstore, by phone and at the door (with Will Call available).
