Set up a scare-fest that’ll raise funds instead of the undead. Here’s what your nonprofit need’s:
- Halloween decorations – including a fog machine or dry ice for extra creepy effects
- Space for your haunted house/hallway (school gyms, hallways, an office lobby, pop-up tents, etc. work…be creative!)
- Admission donation form
- Ghoulish volunteers
- Entrance banner with house of horror’s name, hours of haunting and announcement of the event’s charity focus
Before you begin, create a frighteningly awesome donation form as your ticketing system for admission to your haunted house. Set up and decorate the exterior and interior of your event space. Go traditional or create a twisted theme for extra screams! Save your organization some money by asking supporters and the community for decoration donations or loans of their own spooky stuff.
Once volunteers sign up on your mobile-friendly form, you can put their talents for terror to good use by matching their areas of interest with event tasks and decorating needs. Update your vampires…err, volunteers….with event details (like assigned scare zone schedules) with mobile messaging
