Running comedy fundraisers

How do churches raise money with a comedy fundraiser?

You already know the giving list by heart, and so does everyone on it. So instead of going back to those same forty families for the third time this year, you put on one night the whole community actually wants to attend. Guests buy a ticket. The raffle and the auction do the rest. You keep at least 50%, and often closer to 95%.

Clean & values-appropriate Fellowship, not another ask Welcomes the wider community
Why It Works

Why a comedy night fits a church so well

It's an invitation, not an appeal, and people can feel the difference. A member will bring a neighbor to a comedy night who would politely decline a Sunday service every time. Once they're through the door and laughing, nobody needs convincing.

An open door

A welcoming reason for the wider community to walk into your building. No pressure, just a good night.

Values-aligned

Nothing comes off that stage you wouldn't want said from the pulpit.

Fellowship first

People come to laugh with each other. Nobody gets asked for anything at the door.
