Boosting fundraising with ticket donations

07 Jan 2025 - Ticketize Team

For smaller community organisations, every pound matters when raising money. One effective way to increase your funds is by setting a minimum donation amount or giving ticket buyers the option to donate more than the ticket price.

Benefits of offering the option to provide a donation

Here are some reasons why this approach can be particularly helpful:

1. Increase fundraising potential - by setting a minimum donation or offering an optional donation with ticket sales, you encourage attendees to give more. Many people are happy to contribute extra, especially if they feel a connection to your cause. This can lead to a big boost in the money you raise.

2. Engage supporters More - when you allow people to donate additional funds, it makes them feel more connected to your organisation. Attendees want to help, and giving them a chance to support your cause creates a sense of community. This can lead to stronger relationships and repeat support for your events.

3. Build trust with transparency - being clear about how ticket sales and donations will be used helps build trust with your audience. If you explain how contributions will benefit your programs or events, supporters may be more willing to give. Transparency shows that their money will have a real impact.

4. Offer flexible options - Having a minimum donation alongside ticket purchases provides flexibility for attendees. They can choose how much to give based on their situation, which makes it easier for everyone to contribute, regardless of their financial abilities.
