There are many ways to do grassroots fundraising for this film. From hosting a big community event to a smaller private party at someones house. From a wine and cheese cocktail hour to a fancy sit down dinner.

The concept is to generate funds by having guests bring a donation in lieu of spending money on a dinner out — they get great food, great company,  learn something new, support a good cause –and get a tax deduction! I call that a win/win!

We will help you brainstorm the event and help design the invitations, and figure out how to publicize. Use these parties as a way to raise funds, have fun, network, and educate your guests about homeopathy.

The way you use your event to raise money is up to you. Here are some of our ideas.

Fundraiser dinner parties

If you like to host dinner parties, this is a great way to go.

Suggested price: $250/plate (approx).

You can decide to celebrate local farmers, ranchers, bee keepers, dairies,  and wineries (from the slow food movement). It can be inside, or outside.

How many people you have is up to you. It can be for 10-50 people.  People get a fancy meal, great company, and it is all tax deductible!

Concept: Host a fancy sit down dinner with white linen table cloths and gourmet food. Use all local food and wine. Use local chefs or cook it yourself.

Silent auction: a good idea to bring in more money. Get donations from local artists, practitioners, restaurants, book stores, etc.

Host a cocktail hour fundraiser

Suggested price: $25-$50 a person.

What you will need:

A venue. Can be at a local restaurant, bar, rotary club, wine store, gallery, or someones house. A house. Always best to have someone who donated to the film host the event.

Food: The food can be finger food, cheeses, crackers, etc. Most of the time local restaurants and stores will donate.

Drink: Wine and water

A projector or big TV: To show the fundraising reel

Entertainment: (optional) A small band, piano player, singer, etc.

A silent auction

Publicize the event: A mailing list of people to invite, advertise in a local paper, flyers, invitations.

Host a movie night

Show clips from the film, and talk about homeopathy and natural medicine.

Location ideas: a home, a school, a store, a local health food store after hours.

Engage your Community

Your event can also be held in conjunction with a local restaurant, caterer or personal chef that may be interested in providing a donation of their goods and services.

Consider approaching your community organizations about participating in, or hosting a dinner party event. These organizations may also have resources available to assist with your fundraising event.
