Alternatives to Golf Fundraising

Golf events are expensive, niche, and long. The alternatives in this guide have lower overhead and higher energy and can work for all organizations.

We’ve compiled a list of outdoor fundraising ideas that are not golf tournaments, so you can boost your organization’s fundraising efforts in exciting new ways.

Open the Guide today for fundraising ideas such as:

Lawn game tournaments: Cornhole, bocce, giant Jenga — sell league tickets and let sponsors own each station.

Races and runs: Low entry cost, no attendee cap, and a swag bag that markets your cause long after the finish line.

Sports competitions: Sell player and spectator tickets. Livestream for supporters who can't attend in person.

Outrageous experiences: Exclusive, limited-seat events that create urgency and deepen donor relationships.

Your donors are eager to support your organization, but if you’re doing the same thing every year, they may lose interest. Mixing it up and creating new experiences can help your organization stand out this year.
