Party With A Purpose is a fun, no-pressure event to share information and create the opportunity for your friends to support our work.

We are so grateful for your desire to help us ensure that every girl receives access to an education and their communities are empowered with the tools they need to thrive and create a better future.

These fundraising parties are an integral part of making this a reality!

Our goal is to help make the process of hosting a Party With Purpose as simple as possible and we will help you each step of the way and even attend the party if you’d like!

HOSTING A PARTY WITH PURPOSE

1. THROW A PARTY

A Party with Purpose doesn’t have to be super fancy. Consider an intimate dinner or a cocktail reception at a private home or in a restaurant. You can even host a Popcorn, Pajamas and Conversation movie night and watch your favorite inspirational movie. Whatever works for you!

  • Party with Purpose hosts throw a great party. Your responsibilities include (but we can help):

    • Planning what you want to do. Do you want a big or a small gathering? Do you want to just educate your guests or ask them for donations? Do you want to cook or do you hate that idea? It is all up to you and we have great materials to help you plan, including Ghanaian recipes if you want to do a dinner.

    • Inviting your friends (we have sample invites and encourage you to use something like evite to keep things easy)

    • Host!

    • Follow up — thanks your guests, let us know who came, and how we can be in touch with them.

2. SET A FUNDRAISING GOAL

The most important aspect of every party is the goal of raising at least $1,000. As you’re planning your guest list, think about who has the greatest capacity to donate and can help you reach your goal.

There are two ways that can help you reach your goal:

Party Donations

Collect donations during the party using donation forms that we’ll provide.

Online Giving

Create a My Party with Purpose online fundraising page and promote it to your friends, colleagues and family. In just a few simple steps, your page will be ready to take donations (Hewalenamo’s admin team is available to set up your page).
