How to Plan a Workshop for Women's IssuesIn Feburary 2016 21,

In Feburary 2016 21,
Establish the workshop budget. Before you start spending money, it is important to know what funds are available to you. Make a list of the foreseeable expenses, such as the workshop venue, tools, equipment, food and supplies. Try to divide your funds across the expense worksheet to allocate a certain amount of money to each category of expenses.
Set the date and time for your women's workshop. Make sure you select a date and time that is convenient for the crowd of women you are hoping to attract. For instance, if you are organizing a Christian women's issues workshop it would not be conducive to host the workshop on a Sunday morning, when the majority of your audience may be at church. Additionally, set the date of your workshop far enough in advance to give you time to plan. The scale of your workshop will impact how much planning and preparation time you need. Larger-scale workshops require more details and may take you several months to plan, whereas a small-scale workshop could be planned in a couple of months or a few weeks.
Pick your workshop venue. Assess your spacing needs based on how many workshop participants you anticipate coming. If your women's workshop will be intimate, you might select a venue of a more intimate nature, such as somebody's home or an office conference room. If you are hosting a workshop for women where you expect hundreds of women to show up, look to hotel conference rooms for potential venue options. Make sure the venue you prefer is available on the date that your workshop is set, and that the reservation cost fits within your budget.
Create an agenda for your workshop. Document the flow of how you want the workshop to go. For instance, the very beginning may be 30 minutes of introductions and icebreakers, followed by a one-hour lecture and then a 15 minute break. Incorporate a lunch break if you are hosting a workshop that is over four hours long, beginning in the morning.
Identify any special guest speakers you wish to attend your workshop, based on the issues that your workshop deals with. For instance, it may be appropriate to introduce a motivational speaker for a women's workshop on 'how to build self-esteem and end abusive relationships,' whereas a financial workshop for women could lead you to invite a well-known female financial advisor to the group. In addition to guest speakers, include activities for workshop participants to do and videos for them to watch.
Set your attendance fees. These fees should be based on how much money it will cost to put the workshop together, and if you want your organization to make a profit on the workshop.
Advertise for your workshop. Based on the women's issues that the workshop focuses on, select the appropriate places to advertise. For instance, you could advertise at local churches and on the radio for a faith-based women's workshop, whereas a workshop for women dealing with addiction could be advertised at substance abuse clinics and on the radio. Make sure your advertisements tell women the date and time of the workshop, along with the price for attendance.

Places to Get Donations for a BenefitIn Feburary 2016 05,

In Feburary 2016 05,
As soon as you decide to host a benefit event, make a list of charities and organizations in the area that might help. For example, if you're hosting a benefit to raise money for the family of a firefighter that died of cancer, you might ask for help from cancer societies and local fire companies. Write a simple letter explaining the reason behind the benefit and where the proceeds will go. Send letters to organizations in your city and state, with details on when you need donations and the type of donations you need.
Local Businesses
Solicit donations from local businesses for your benefit. Make a list of everything you need and divide volunteers into small groups, sending the groups to different businesses. Include smaller and less expensive items, such as napkins and food donations, as well as larger items. Some businesses and stores might want to help, but can't afford to donate any of the larger items you need. You can also ask the businesses to hang posters or flyers for the benefit, gaining advertising for the event.
Community Members
Ask for help from people in the community, especially those connected to the event. Volunteers can donate their time, working during the benefit to seat people, serving as security guards, making food or taking care of children. You also need people to donate smaller items, especially if you can't get enough donations through other means. Community members might donate ingredients for a benefit dinner or bottled water for a benefit concert that takes place on a hot day.
Celebrity Donations
Never underestimate the power of local celebrities, including radio DJs, newscasters, reporters and athletes. Ask celebrities to donate their time to appear at the benefit, signing autographs for fans or giving a short speech before the benefit begins. You can also ask famous people to donate signed memorabilia and offer those items for sale during a live or silent auction to raise additional money.
