Rebuilding the People's Party of Canada Presence in British Columbia

Raising funds for staging equipment is crucial for a local political association to effectively host events and reach constituents. Teamwork is key!

Define Your Needs and Budget

First, clearly identify what staging equipment you need (e.g., portable stage, sound system, lighting, projection screen) and research their costs. Create a detailed budget to establish a fundraising target. This clarity will help potential donors understand where their money is going.

Diverse Fundraising Events:

Engage the community with a variety of events. Consider:

• Casual Socials: Pub nights, meet n greets, town halls, BBQs, or coffee talks are lower-cost options that encourage participation from a wider audience.

• Merchandise Sales: Design and sell branded items like t-shirts, hats, or pins. This offers supporters a tangible item while raising funds.

• Online Crowdfunding: Utilize platforms to share your goal and allow for easy online donations. Share compelling photos or videos explaining why the equipment is needed.

• Ticketed Dinners/Galas: A more formal event that is under the constraints of Elections Canada. Please consult with your Regional leads for details and support.

Leverage Your Network

Encourage every association member to reach out to their personal and professional networks. Individual asks, even for small amounts, can accumulate quickly. Highlight the federal political contribution tax credit available to Canadian donors (which can make contributions more attractive).

Seek Local Business Sponsorships

Approach local businesses that align with your values. Offer them recognition at events or on your promotional materials in exchange for financial contributions or in-kind donations of equipment or services.

Clear Communication and Transparency

Throughout your fundraising efforts, be transparent about your goal and how the funds will be used. Regularly update donors on your progress and express sincere gratitude. Celebrate milestones to keep momentum going and demonstrate the impact of their contributions.
