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 the gift is 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.
