Collect Money to Host a Date Night Fundraiser

Lets begin

If you are looking for ways to raise money for an upcoming trip, project, or just a rainy day, hosting a date night fundraiser is a really fun way to make that happen. Here are some simple ways to raise money by helping couples have fun.

Fundraising Ideas

There are countless ideas you can brainstorm to make your fundraiser a success. Here are just a few of the most popular.

Organize a group dinner. Find a restaurant that serves family-style meals. If your restaurant fundraiser is tied into travel to a foreign place or to raise money for a cause in another geographical region, consider supporting a restaurant that serves that place’s food. Use online money collecting technology like PayIt2 to organize your funds and pay the restaurant in advance.
Host a fair night. Set up games and prizes, and create fun romantic activities like kissing booths or photo booths. Charge an admission. The advantage of hosting a fair night is you can accommodate many attendees to raise more money!
Treat them to a show. Call local theaters and music halls to see if they would be willing to provide you a group ticket discount for a play or a concert. Sell the tickets for a profit!
Send them to a sporting event. Even if you don’t have a major league team in your own backyard, your local community college might have events that can be just as fun for couples to go to while supporting the local community. Again, ask if you can get a group discount, then sell the tickets for a profit.
Teach a cooking class. Even if it’s something really simple like baking blueberry muffins, you can find a way to entertain couples and bring them closer together by teaching a cooking class. Call around to local kitchens to see if they will donate their facilities to you at a discounted rate.

Before You Begin

All ready to host your fundraiser? Follow these tips and it’ll be smooth sailing:

While the adults are away to play, make sure that their little ones are well cared for. You can help by finding a babysitter in advance who can watch over all the children in the same location.
If you’re hosting a cooking class, check on your guests’ food restrictions and allergies, so you’re prepared when dinnertime comes.
When reselling tickets, always check into the legal implications and first get permission from the institution from which you’re buying them.

How collecting money works

#1 You create a Collect Page

Create your own custom Collect Page.

Choose color themes
Upload images
Customize everything

Then share with family and friends through Facebook, Twitter, and email.

#2 An online payment is made

Friends, family, and anyone else can now make an online payment to your new Collect Page. At checkout you can even ask custom questions like "Why am I the coolest person ever?".

All major credit cards can be accepted.

#3 Stripe processes the payment

To accept payments online you must use our vetted Payment Processor. Our payment processor, Stripe, sets you up with an account automagically when you sign up for PayIt2. After you connect a bank account to Stripe, everything else is taken care of for you.

It only takes 2-3 business days to transfer your money

#4 Money is in your bank account

Now that you have the funds, it's time to use them. While organizing, use the Manage List to see who has paid and who hasn’t. Here you can also manage refunds, contact payers, and view payment information. This gives you all the information you need to give you peace of mind and make sure everything goes smoothly.
