IS YOUR EVENT AT RISK?
Keep your fundraising goals alive with solutions from Gala Fundraising.
In the current climate, public gatherings and large events are being encouraged to postpone or cancel to due to the Corona Virus pandemic.
If your annual fundraiser is at risk, we have some suggestions to keep the fundraising going, while running a ‘phantom’ or ‘remote’ event.
By implementing an on-line auction there are a myriad of fundraising opportunities. Plus we have some great ideas on how to put a ‘phantom’ event together.
OFFER GUESTS PRIVATE DINING at multiple RESTAURANTs
Can you coordinate an event across multiple venues to avoid a large public gathering?
If so, the opportunity for dining at restaurants with tables of 10 or similar, can allow you to engage multiple locations with simultaneous dining.
So you are still running an event style atmosphere, yet across multiple venues.
Gala Fundraising can assist with our restaurant partners in Melbourne to accommodate 3-course dining and drinks packages in private rooms, or even exclusive use of their venue.
Perhaps promote a theme to add a bit of fun for your supporters.
ENCOURAGE GUESTS to HOST IN-HOME DINNER PARTIES
Similar to a restaurant model, if public venues are closed, or a curfew is in place, why not seek an opportunity for dinner parties at home?
Your supporters can participate in couples or groups, whatever their comfort level.
They can dress up and still partake in a fine dining atmosphere.
Better still Gala Fundraising has access to Private Chef’s for groups of 6 or more, if they want a real EVENT experience.
Again, perhaps add a theme.

PROMOTE YOUR MESSAGE
Stream recorded messages via Facebook or other social media to tie into your cause and fundraising related activities.
ENCOURAGE GUESTS TO POST SOCIAL MEDIA PICTURES
All your remote event participants can engage with Instagram by posting photos of their restaurant or at home dining experience.
A great way to share camaraderie for your cause. Perhaps offer a prize for best group photo?
PAYMENTS & LOGISTICS
Gala Fundraising can help with payments via the electronic bidding platform. Guests can register and record their credit card upon their first bid. They will be debited at the close of the auction if they are the winner.
We can also facilitate warehousing of goods & subsequent delivery to auction winners – wherever they are located in Australia. Where suitable, this can include some or all of your own sourced items.
SUPPLY of AUCTION ITEMS
We have an impressive catalogue of auction items that we can supply on consignment to boost your fundraising efforts – all at no risk.
These range from rare comics in custom displays to hand signed memorabilia, original artwork, private dining, local & international holidays plus a host of other in-home & local experiences.
We understand that the immediate future of event fundraising will present many challenges. However, our professional team combines over 30 years of event fundraising experience coupled with the expertise of managing on-line fundraising solutions.
