I'm not going to name any names, but every year in my historic, seaside society an occasion takes place to celebrate our town's maritime heritage. I've attended the last seven or eight. Therefore have a look at the following article taking us through the theme your business bill of rights when you support historical San Angelo Community Events.
Make sure you have enough snacks, finger food, drinks, cups, paper plates, purified ice and other party needs. Try to prepare for 1.5x the number of people you expect, to estimate the number of supplies you think you'll need - for example, if you are expecting 50 people, prepare for 75. Keep track of how much stuff you're using up.
Maybe the donor's logo appears somewhere; maybe it doesn't. And that's it. The donors are taken for granted because they are "family, " and the business goals behind the check writing are simply not considered. In my mind, this is just not good enough anymore and the check writers should push back and ask, "What, exactly, am I getting for my donation?" Being "nice" and philanthropic is lovely and appreciated. But what about business?
Make an emergency supply run only if necessary. If your list shows that your supplies are running low - grab your car keys and make an emergency run. Ask a friend or a family member to hold the fort while you are gone, and drive to the closest store in your neighborhood.
And if businesses are not being asked this question, they should either ask it themselves or, frankly, take their money elsewhere. Tough talk, I know. But I think businesses need to ask more questions, stop being taken for granted, and determine their return on investment. The next time you are asked to support a historical society incident, here are some ways you can leverage your donation.
Signs make it easier for those running the festivals in that they need to hire fewer volunteers to give directions or guide traffic because they have the signs there to do just that. According to The National Center for Charitable Statistics, in 2010, individual donors were responsible for over 200 billion dollars in contributions to nonprofit and charitable organizations.
Insist on a link to your Web site in social media messages, email blasts, and from their Web site. If there is a printed program for the incident, make sure you are in it. Perhaps, in the program, you want to make a special offer for incident attendees. You will be told that there isn't enough space to do what you ask in a publication or enough time to add links for "everyone, " or the organization has "never done it that way before." As someone who has provided services to the nonprofit sector for 20 years, I've heard it all. Push back!
