Sandlin and Helweg present 199 fundraising event ideas that have proven successful for various organizations, including both "simple" ideas requiring less effort and money to put together and "complex" ideas requiring more effort, finances, and time. Each event listing is one-to-two pages in length and includes the name of the fundraiser and a description of what it entails. Accompanying charts show the amount of difficulty in six major areas: estimated cost, obtaining sponsors/donations, finding a venue, recruiting volunteers, preparation, and execution.
