A trivia night is an excellent way to cultivate friendly competition while helping your nonprofit raise money for its cause. You’ll need to determine the questions, scoring system and categories for your event. Next, you should start promoting your event on social media and with an out-of-the-ordinary direct mail postcard campaign. To raise a lot of attention, place beautifully-designed posters around town. trivia-night
