What is a fundraiser flyer? 

Fundraiser flyers are promotional materials used to advertise upcoming fundraising events. These types of event flyers typically include graphics and/or images, along with key information such as the name, date, time, location and cause, and a call-to-action (CTA) describing how people can donate or participate.

Here’s one fundraiser flyer example to illustrate:

Fundraiser flyers may be distributed through a variety of channels. And compared to other kinds of advertisements, they tend to be easy on the wallet, since they’re usually printed on paper and circulated by hand, posted on public bulletin boards or shared digitally. 

But that doesn’t mean you’re bound to succeed by making just anything! In order to reach a wide audience, the flyer’s visuals must be as eye-catching, informative and engaging as possible.

What is the purpose of a fundraiser flyer? 

Put simply, fundraiser flyers are used to promote and raise awareness about a fundraising or charity event by generating interest, encouraging community support and enticing participation. Tasteful designs can grab the attention of potential donors and provide them with essential information, encouraging people to attend the event and donate to the cause. 

You can see the latter illustrated in this customizable flyer template below:

Though some might consider these marketing materials “old fashioned”, fundraiser flyers are tried and true for a reason: they’re an affordable way to reach many without blowing through your advertising budget.  

Now you might be thinking: that’s great and all. But I don’t have the time, resources and know-how to whip something up myself or hire a designer…

Rest assured, there’s a solution. 

With the right design platform and customizable online templates, anyone can create a compelling flyer design that’ll effortlessly attract your target audience while reflecting your event theme and message. 

But before I show you how to make one in just five steps, let’s talk templates…

Fundraiser flyers FAQ 

What to say on a fundraiser flyer? 

When creating a fundraiser flyer, there are a few key things you should include in the copy. First, start with a catchy headline that immediately captures the reader’s attention and clearly states the purpose of the fundraiser. Follow up with a brief description of the cause or organization the fundraiser supports, explaining why it’s important and/or why the reader should care.

Next, provide details about the event, including the date, time, location and any activities or entertainment featured. Be sure to explain how people can participate  — e.g. purchasing fundraiser tickets, making a donation or volunteering. 

Finally, you might want to try to highlight the impact the fundraiser will have on the cause or organization being supported. A clear and persuasive call-to-action should also be included to drive your message home. 

How do you make a good flyer for an event?

Making a good flyer for an event involves several steps. Here are some tips to consider:

  1. Determine the purpose of the flyer: Before creating the flyer, it’s important to determine the event’s purpose and the message you want to convey. This will help you to create a design that accurately represents the event.
  1. Choose a design software or template: Use a template and design software that suits your needs and skill level, and consider the type of event, audience, and theme before choosing a design.
  1. Use high-quality images and graphics: Use high-resolution images and graphics that are relevant to the event, and high-contrast colors that will make the design stand out and catch the attention of the audience.
  1. Keep the design simple and easy to read: Avoid cluttering the flyer with too much information or design elements. Keep it simple and easy to read, using headings, bullet points and bold fonts to highlight key information as needed.
  1. Provide essential information: Include the name of the event, date, time, venue, and any other important details. You may want to provide information about ticket prices, where to purchase tickets and any other relevant information.
  1. Add a call to action: Include a call to action, such as “Buy Tickets Now,” “RSVP Today,” or “Register Here.” This will encourage people to take action and attend the event.
  1. Proofread and finalize: Before printing or sharing the flyer, make sure to proofread the content, check for errors and finalize the design. Get feedback from others to ensure that the flyer is effective and clear.

Remember that a good flyer should be eye-catching, informative, and easy to read. By following these tips, you can create a flyer that will promote your event and attract attendees.
