I'd suggest checking out a couple of the articles on event planning, http://www.asmallchange.net/?cat=16. Outside of that the best place to start with a smaller organization is to talk with your board members. Tell them what you are thinking about doing and ask them to talk with their friends. Thanks, Jason Patricia,

Our non-profit Emerald City Lights Bike Ride is going into its 4th year. We have a bike/walk event in September each year which brings in money for us to give healthy nutritious food baskets to families less fortunate then ourselves in our own communites during the Thanksgiving & Christmas Holidays. We are trying to build our event and our ultimate goal is to be able to give a basket of food to a family each day of the year. There are 1 in every 10 homes where the families go to bed hungry. We want to do something and also gie them a event to exercise. We are all volunteers and so no one takes a wage, we do get a share of donations from various friends and we do have some small companies that assist eah year at our event to keep the cost down. The great thing about our organization is we know where the money goes because we deliver to the families ourselves. We are interested in new ways to get funds to help those in need. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you. Patricia, Founder/Director Emerald city Lights Bike Ride Hi Leo,

As one datapoint - I most definitely give more of my time and money to the organizations that take the time to engage me and with which I feel a personal connection.
