Organize a Third-Party Event

Third party fundraising events are a wonderful way to raise awareness, support, and compassion for House of Hope, while networking with friends, neighbors, and local businesses.

We welcome your passion and creativity in creating a better, brighter, future for others. When exploring options for a third party fundraiser, think about what you and your friends enjoy doing and how fundraising can be blended into that activity.

Event Examples Include:

​

•     Hosting a dinner party and asking your guests to make a donation to House of Hope instead of bringing a dish

•     Planning a garage sale

•     Volunteering for one month per year to participate in our Saturday car wash

•     Selling arts, crafts, or jewelry

•     Hosting a bake sale

•     Planning a golf outing

•     Organizing a bowling tournament.

House of Hope CAN provide:
 

•     A gift recognition letter noting a charitable donation to the event organizer for total event proceeds

•     Event ideas and success stories of other community fundraisers.

House of Hope CANNOT provide:
 

•     State Tax exemption for event related purchases

•     Gift recognition letters noting a charitable donation to individual contributors (unless made out directly to House of Hope)

•     Insurance or liability coverage

•     Funding or reimbursement for expenses.

The possibilities for third-party fundraising events are endless.  As a reminder, House of Hope's role in the project must be agreed upon before the event/campaign begins.
