Saver & Puknul
Hey Saver, I was thinking about planning a DIY carnival for a charity fundraiser—like a backyard circus where every ticket is a small donation and we keep the budget tight, but also set up a digital ticketing system that’s super secure. What do you think?
Sounds like a great idea, but you’ll need a solid plan to keep it under budget and secure. First, list every expense: venue setup, permits, costumes, insurance, food, marketing, and a small contingency—say 10% of the total. Next, break down the digital ticketing: choose a reputable platform, use two‑factor authentication, and keep a backup list of ticket numbers in a password‑protected file. Then, create a timeline with checkpoints—one month before, two weeks before, the day before—to review finances and security settings. Finally, set a clear donation goal and track every ticket sold; that way you know when you’re hitting your target and can adjust marketing spend accordingly. Good luck, and keep those spreadsheets tidy!
