How to hold really big fundraisers
Step 1 : Throw a party.
Step 2 : Make it really, really big. 10,000 people? Almost there.
Step 3 : Don’t hold back. Invite everyone; make it a spectacle of an event.
Step 4 : Only ask for 1/3 of the total cost of the event from the world
at large. If this doesn’t come to a few million dollars, you’ve
done something wrong.
Step 5 : Put up a nice progress bar on your website to show people how well fundraising is going.
I guess it helps if you’re a major international body working towards the peaceful betterment of mankind.
