There’s no trendier way to raise funds for your cause than with a charity fashion show. Here’s what you’ll need before you hit the runway:
- Sponsored, crafted or borrowed outfits and accessories
- Catwalk space & venue (think outside the box)
- Model sign-up form
- Digital event ticketing form
- Mobile swiper and integrated app for ticketing and other in-person payment processing
Local boutiques often lend clothes for charity fashion shows or you can ask your event’s models to bring their own creative outfits. Typically models have 2 or 3 changes during a show, so keep that in mind when planning the number participants and length of show you want to produce.
Anyone can be a model in your fashion show fundraising event. Flatter family, friends, donors and community members by asking them to participate. Your nonprofit can collect participant information with a mobile-first sign-up form that can be shared via keyword and shortcode on printed posters or for those in-person asks, and through shortened links for social posts and mobile messaging.
Sell tickets before your event by sharing your digital form across every channel of communication imaginable. For purchases at the door, use a credit card swiper and an integrated fundraising app to keep sales records organized in one convenient place. Credit card swipers will also come in handy for concessions and boutique sales during or after the event.
