#142. How should my organization participate in special events?

Getting involved in existing events or starting one on your own is one of the best ways to let your community know what you are doing and why you are doing it. As a nonprofit organization, you may qualify for reduced fees to participate in existing events, so make sure to tell the event coordinators a little bit about your group.

Producing any type of event on your own is going to require a lot of work, so take a good look at your current capacity before committing the group to something that you may not have enough people to organize.

Here are a few examples of special events to consider:

Craft/street fairs. They usually have an area set aside for nonprofit groups.

Special events at your local mall or shopping center. Ask for the mall’s Calendar of Events.

Business organizations’ meet and greets. Usually held monthly, these events will always welcome new organizations as guests until you are able to join.

Open houses. Throw open your doors and invite the neighborhood in for beverages and conversation.

Film nights. Feature a movie associated with your mission.

Co-sponsorship of events produced by other organizations. This keeps your name visible and shows you are working with more established organizations.
