Community Fundraiser Event Budget and Revenue Model

Table output Has example

Build a community fundraiser budget with costs, ticket and donation revenue scenarios, break-even point and a go or no-go check.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.

Help me model the money for a community fundraising event. Type of event: [EVENT_TYPE]. Venue cost: [VENUE_COST]. Expected attendance range (low, likely, high): [ATTENDANCE_RANGE]. Ticket price or suggested donation: [TICKET_PRICE]. Other income ideas (raffle, stalls, sponsors): [OTHER_INCOME]. Fundraising target: [TARGET_AMOUNT].

Build a budget table with the columns Item, Cost type (fixed or per head), Low, Likely, High, and Notes, covering venue, equipment, food, insurance, licences, printing, promotion, volunteer expenses and a contingency of 10 percent. Then build a revenue table for the same three scenarios and calculate net proceeds for each, showing the arithmetic step by step. Calculate the break-even attendance and say how far it is from my likely figure. Finish with a go or no-go checklist of eight questions and a list of three ways to improve the margin without raising ticket prices.

Remind me that raffles, alcohol, food sales and charity collections may be regulated where I live, so list them as items to check with the authority and mark them [VERIFY]. This is planning help, not financial or legal advice.

Do not invent costs; use placeholders or my figures, and mark any estimate you propose as an assumption I should replace.

Add a worked example with invented figures: venue 400, per-head catering 12, ticket 25, attendance 60 / 90 / 130, other fixed costs 350, and compute break-even.

Invented figures. Fixed costs: venue 400 + other 350 = 750. Per-head cost: 12. Contribution per ticket: 25 - 12 = 13.

Break-even attendance = 750 / 13 = 57.7, so 58 people.

Scenario | Attendance | Income | Costs | Net
Low | 60 | 1,500 | 750 + 720 = 1,470 | 30
Likely | 90 | 2,250 | 750 + 1,080 = 1,830 | 420
High | 130 | 3,250 | 750 + 1,560 = 2,310 | 940

Contingency at 10 percent of likely costs adds 183, so likely net becomes 237. The low scenario would then lose money, so I would not go ahead without 15 confirmed sponsors or pre-sold tickets.
