			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Raising Money During Down Times?</strong></p>
<p>An economic recession is certainly a tough time to try to raise money for good causes. Many big givers have to cut back because they have less savings or income than they did several months ago. Just when schools, charities, religious institutions, and other groups really need to raise more cash they find that lots of supporters have closed their wallets!</p>
<h3>Why Do Casino Parties Work So Well for Fundraising?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Many people love the excitement of casino gambling, but have to cut back on trips to places like Vegas or Atlantic City as their budgets shrink.</li>
<li>You may be able to find people willing to donate prizes, especially if they can help them promote a business, where they may not want to give cash. You can certainly find some great donated prizes like day spa visits, weekend getaways at local hotels, car washes, or gift baskets.</li>
<li>You can also get group members to donate snacks and drinks.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how you hold a private casino party fundraiser.</strong></p>
<p>People pay an admission fee which buys them some chips for gambling. You can also sell extra chips! In addition, you may want to use some of the donated prizes for a silent auction. Non-gamblers will enjoy browsing the prizes as they try to get a good deal.</p>
<p>At the end of the gambling session, you can let the gamblers &#8220;cash&#8221; in their chips for fake money. This can be used to auction off the donated prizes. It is a good idea to have a few big and attractive prizes like week-end getaways or more expensive housewares. But also have some smaller prizes so lots of people can win!</p>
<p>Try to plan your fundraiser so the proceeds can cover hiring some professional dealers to really give your casino party an authentic feel. Of course, the idea here is to make sure you have money left over to donate to your organization!</p>
<p>You will find that your casino party fundraiser will be a lot more fun than going around and asking people to give more money!</p>
