A growing number of people are now becoming more aware of their responsibility towards charitable giving. Developing this attitude is a good example especially to children and young adults.
There are a variety of ways a group or startup can raise money for charitable giving. One sure way is to organize a fashion event. But what particular types of events would it be? We share some of the most popular you can choose from.
Designer Auctions
Fashion designers often come together to do auctions that can help non-profit organizations such as charities. Luxury items that command a price are normally put up for auction.
While the items may be expensive, there are well off women who don’t mind spending their money for a piece of clothing created a designer they love. It can be a vintage clothing or accessory, a unique creation or a one-time piece made exclusively for a client of a popular designer.
Designer Discounts
Designers usually sell their creations meant for charity at discounted prices at fashion fundraising events. This then provides a great opportunity for women aspiring to own and wear designer clothes to buy pieces they so desire at a price they can well afford.
The added benefit here is that the purchasers not only get to buy unique pieces of clothing or accessories but they are also helping charitable organizations.
Fashion Shows
Conducting a fashion show is another great way of raising funds for charity and showcasing designer creations including the latest collections. In this type of event, professional models are invited to wear the clothes and accessories while guests are invited to see the show.
At this event, there’s an opportunity to purchase designer clothes worn in the show. A silent auction may take place or the creations are sold at booths.
Corporate Donations
A corporate donation is one done by a corporation through a fashionable fundraising event. Normally, the company organizes the event and donates a substantial amount for a specific charity.
Taking an active role in doing fundraising events is an effective way of attracting clients who may also be interested in donating to your chosen charity. It’s also a way to establish a good reputation in your industry or to make one fashion statement that can go a long way.
The fact that you’re giving to charity to help a worthy cause always provides a rewarding feeling to anybody or any company. And being able to organize an event to raise more funds is definitely an admirable effort.
