The work you do is invaluable to generations of people. That\u2019s why the longevity of youth development organizations is so important!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/go.qgiv.com\/hybrid-event-planner\">hybrid fundraising event<\/a> can go a long way to ensure your nonprofit\u2019s financial stability now and in the future. Read on for hybrid event ideas your youth organization can use to grow&nbsp;your&nbsp;fundraising.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a hybrid event?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A hybrid fundraising event is a format that combines the best of in-person and virtual events.&nbsp;Hybrid events&nbsp;encourage&nbsp;some in-person participation, but&nbsp;they\u2019re also&nbsp;open to people participating online. Online participants can take part in activities via livestream or through apps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are hybrid events important&nbsp;to youth organizations? In our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/resources\/navigating-the-unknown\/\">Navigating the Unknown report<\/a>, we compared in-person events with virtual fundraising events and found that in-person fundraising earned a larger number of gifts, but virtual attendees gave in higher dollar amounts. A hybrid fundraiser combines both types of participants, which can seriously boost your revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a youth organization, a hybrid format can be excellent for including family members who can\u2019t normally participate due to living outside of your service area.&nbsp;For instance, if you host a walkathon fundraiser with the kids and their families, that child\u2019s&nbsp;grandparent&nbsp;can&nbsp;participate (and&nbsp;give) from states away!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling inspired to host your own hybrid event fundraiser? Looking for ideas your youth organization can implement?&nbsp;We\u2019ve included five of our favorite hybrid event ideas for youth organizations below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>5K\/10K or Walkathon events<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing most kids have in abundance is energy!&nbsp;As a fundraiser for a youth development organization, you\u2019re likely aware of how hard it is for kids to contain their energy. This first fundraising idea puts all that energy to good use!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s based on the idea that,&nbsp;when people donate, they aren\u2019t&nbsp;<em>really&nbsp;<\/em>giving to your organization. They\u2019re giving to people in order to make a difference. And one group of people that inspires&nbsp;others&nbsp;to give is children.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A hybrid 5K\/10K race or a walkathon event is a fantastic fundraising idea. The kids can participate with their families and fundraise on behalf of your organization by getting other family members to sponsor them. You can host an in-person event that practices safe social distancing while opening participation to attendees who are uncomfortable with\u2014or can\u2019t attend\u2014an in-person event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part about making this kind of event a hybrid format is the ability to make it accessible to others. Some people may be reluctant to take part in a race&nbsp;but would be happy to participate by going the distance via a leisurely walk. Others may prefer to swim, bike, zipline, or hang glide their way to 5K.&nbsp;No matter how your supporters choose to participate, a hybrid event format makes it possible!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual participants can track their times and routes and share it on their personal fundraising pages. This way, they can be assured their participation is seen and appreciated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nonprofit in action:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of event can be incredibly profitable for your youth organization. But we don\u2019t want you to just take our word for it. Instead,&nbsp;consider this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner-1024x388.jpg\" alt=\"Northern Illinois Food Bank's Fight Hunger 5K\/10K hybrid event banner.\" class=\"wp-image-24827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner-1024x388.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner-768x291.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner-1536x581.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Northern-Illinois-Food-Bank-Fight-Hunger-5K-10K-Event-Banner.jpg 1678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Northern Illinois Food Bank\u2019s hybrid 5K\/10K&nbsp;fundraiser&nbsp;raised more than $189,000!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Video game fundraising events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another hybrid fundraising idea designed with kids in mind is a hybrid video game&nbsp;event. This can take the form of gaming marathons or&nbsp;video game tournaments. Many kids love playing games, so an event like this is perfect for family-friendly fun that also raises funds for your youth development organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For older kids and teens that benefit from your youth organization, a video game tournament is a great opportunity for them to show off their skills while raising&nbsp;funds&nbsp;for&nbsp;your organization. You can choose family-friendly games&nbsp;such as these&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/best-sports-games-2020-metacritic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">top sports titles<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For younger groups, it may be better to keep things non-competitive. Instead, Kids can take turns playing a variety of games rated E for everyone.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commonsensemedia.org\/lists\/best-games-for-kids-age-5-8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Common Sense Media<\/a>&nbsp;publishes a great list of games for kids in different age groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaming events&nbsp;can be great in a hybrid format. Tournament attendees can join in the fun online or at the in-person event. Just make sure they have a way to communicate with event coordinators and other guests. Gaming marathoners can choose to participate in an in-person fundraiser where everyone plays the same game together for a certain period of time&nbsp;or virtual attendees can livestream their gameplay while asking for donations. If kids will be participating, get parents\u2019 permission before encouraging livestreaming.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nonprofit in action:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of event is profitable and repeatable. Just ask Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Givers-and-Gamers.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Givers-and-Gamers-1024x395.png\" alt=\"Ronald McDonald House Charities' Givers &amp; Gamers event banner.\" class=\"wp-image-24828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Givers-and-Gamers-1024x395.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Givers-and-Gamers-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Givers-and-Gamers-768x296.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Givers-and-Gamers.png 1435w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Bluegrass hosted an incredibly successful event called Givers &amp; Gamers that raised 22% more than their fundraising goal.&nbsp;In fact,&nbsp;the event was&nbsp;so nice&nbsp;they hosted it twice!&nbsp;Their top fundraiser? A teenager who fundraised while livestreaming virtually. You can find out more about&nbsp;their event,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/qgiv-success-story-givers-gamers-virtual-event\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Live performances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A fundraising event that features live entertainment is great for attracting a captive audience. Then, make asks throughout the performance to get your audience giving!&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/nonprofit-videos\/\">Livestreaming technology<\/a>&nbsp;and video tools&nbsp;make it easy to broadcast performances to&nbsp;people all over the world.&nbsp;Whether you have the kids acting in a play or playing musical instruments, their family can watch&nbsp;from&nbsp;wherever they are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event type works great for musicians, magic shows,&nbsp;plays and performances,&nbsp;and other forms of entertainment. Likewise, you can host your organization\u2019s own version of a TED talk and entertain questions from parents and community members. You could also bring in guest speakers to share valuable information relevant to the work you do. You\u2019d be surprised how well these kinds of events go over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Performances are great for the hybrid event format because it creates some exclusivity for those chosen to attend in person. Others can still register and watch online.&nbsp;Build asks into your event and&nbsp;consider&nbsp;hosting&nbsp;sub-events like auctions, raffles, and wine pulls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nonprofit in action:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow City Arts took a virtual performance to the streets, offering a tour of some of Chicago&#8217;s most diverse and creative neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Snow-City-Arts-Virtual-DeTour-Banner-Image.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Snow-City-Arts-Virtual-DeTour-Banner-Image-1024x394.png\" alt=\"Snow City Arts' Virtual DeTour event banner\" class=\"wp-image-24829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Snow-City-Arts-Virtual-DeTour-Banner-Image-1024x394.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Snow-City-Arts-Virtual-DeTour-Banner-Image-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Snow-City-Arts-Virtual-DeTour-Banner-Image-768x296.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Snow-City-Arts-Virtual-DeTour-Banner-Image.png 1439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Snow City Arts hosted a great virtual event called Junelle &amp; Wayne\u2019s Virtual&nbsp;DeTour, which showcased diverse Chicago communities and the arts in these neighborhoods. While this tour was conducted 100%&nbsp;virtually, it\u2019d be easy to offer a limited number of in-person tickets for a walking tour while livestreaming to virtual attendees. Their event reached 111% of its fundraising goal,&nbsp;and the folks at Snow City Arts got to share their passion for art with their supporters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hybrid fundraising galas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A gala event can work great in a hybrid format. Part live performance and part dinner event, these events often feature guest speakers, music, and&nbsp;more to raise funds for great causes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of event lends itself well to the hybrid event format. Like live performances, you can livestream a gala event while allowing for a limited number of in-person attendees.&nbsp;This lends an exclusive feel to your hybrid event without actually excluding supporters from participating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid&nbsp;galas offer many ways to raise&nbsp;money&nbsp;while keeping things fun.&nbsp;Sub-events like auctions and raffles can be profitable and create healthy competition among event attendees. Wine pulls appeal to guests who love a good bottle of wine and the allure of receiving a mystery bottle.&nbsp;Additionally, galas&nbsp;are a great opportunity to host table decorating and costume competitions among guests.&nbsp;It just takes getting creative!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nonprofit in action:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Phoenix Charities Football Club had great success hosting theit hybrid gala fundraiser, Sky Full of Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"The Sky Full of Stars hybrid gala event banner.\" class=\"wp-image-24830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Phoenix-Rising-Sky-Full-of-Stars-Event-Banner.jpg 1631w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Phoenix Charities Football Club raises funds each year so youth in Arizona can participate in soccer leagues.&nbsp;Their Sky Full of Stars hybrid gala event combined an evening of entertainment with a stellar fundraising auction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They limited the number of in-person participants and livestreamed the gala to virtual attendees. But to make virtual attendees feel more included, they arranged to-go meals from the same restaurant that served in-person guests in their rooftop dining area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The night was full of great guest presentations and sub-events that&nbsp;helped them raise more than $100,000!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is a gala the right type of event for your youth organization? Find out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/fundraising-gala\/\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Hybrid Scavenger Hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scavenger hunt fundraisers provide family-friendly entertainment to your supporters while also helping nonprofits raise&nbsp;money&nbsp;for their cause. This kind of fundraiser is perfect for youth organizations&nbsp;because you&nbsp;can tailor the scavenger hunt to&nbsp;your ideal audience.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may think adding virtual elements to a scavenger hunt is impossible, but it\u2019s actually pretty easy! Make sure&nbsp;the&nbsp;items you want guests to find can be found both&nbsp;at your event venue and at home. You could also incorporate challenges that participants must submit photo or video proof of to complete. Virtual attendees and&nbsp;in-person participants alike can participate by photographing the items they found and submitting them to a designated scavenger hunt email address or via a specific scavenger hunt app, like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eventzeeapp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eventzee<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s not enough to host a fun event. Bring fundraising into it by awarding teams bonus points for donations they bring in, like a bonus point for each $100 raised. This can create some serious competition for fundraising between teams leading up to the actual scavenger hunt event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nonprofit in action:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This next example was designed with children and families in mind.

They\u2019ve prepared family-friendly challenges in-person and virtual attendees can compete and have started accepting donations for bonus points. Their event doesn\u2019t take&nbsp;place until June and they\u2019ve already raised more than $11,000!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your youth organization can take advantage of the hybrid event format to draw supporters from outside of your service area. The additional source of funding provided by hybrid events can be incredibly beneficial to your organization.
