BENEFITS & ROI
BENEFITS & ROI
Increase your Fundraising Profits (by the Thousands)
It’s no secret that producing a show can sometimes (unfortunately) come down to the padding in your pocket. But with a quick, easy set-up and a little bit of follow through, you can watch a shoestring budget change dramatically in a short period of time.
And if you think it’s impossible, look at Brownsburg Middle Schools, which collectively raised $102,797 in 2022 with the OTS Fundraising Suite!
BENEFITS & ROI
Build a Loyal Community
Discover ongoing donations made easy! With OTS, customizable donation pages can be published before, during, and after the show to generate incrementally and encourage ongoing donations.
Did you know, recurring donors are 440% more valuable than one-time donations? Our donation subscriptions enable your patrons to give monthly to your organization rather than one large lump sum, making it easier for them to support your programs all year long.
BENEFITS & ROI
No Cost to Your Organization
Unlike other fundraising platforms, OTS does not take a percentage of your earnings or limit how you raise funds. With multiple templates and customizable fundraiser campaign options, you can increase your overall budget to maximize your productions.
Product Category FAQs
What items can I sell through the On The Stage Fundraising Suite?
On The Stage is designed to be fully customizable, so the opportunities can be endless! Whatever creative ideas you come up with, from baked goods to merchandise, to front-row seats and exclusive backstage content, your fundraiser can thrive in numerous ways! No matter the product, our automated communications, and donor processing can adapt to your circumstances at no extra cost.
Do I need to sell anything for a Fundraiser or can I just raise donations?
No need to sell anything! You can use the OTS Fundraising site to collect donations. Our research has shown that patrons donate more when they can give money to something specific, so even if you are just raising donations, let your patrons donate to a specific item or cause! For example, if raising funds for a production, give them an option to donate toward Costumes, Scripts, Musicians, Sets, Lights, or whatever else you need!
How do I make my fundraising effective?
People are more likely to donate to people, rather than just an organization. Make your fundraising efforts personal by utilizing our Team Approach, where every member gets their own fundraising page, URL Link, and QR Code.
How do I market my fundraising efforts?
On The Stage utilizes your contact list and integrated social media accounts to help promote your fundraising efforts! While it always helps to add to your website and promote locally, you will have the tools and resources necessary to make it easy for your patrons to support you and your organization.
Can I do a fundraising campaign that is not listed in the On The Stage fundraising list?
You sure can! Our Fundraising Suite is robust and flexible, so you can build fully-customizable campaigns to execute all your fundraising ideas.
How much does it cost to run a fundraiser through On The Stage?
