Events That Drive Your Mission Forward
Non-profit organizations across the Dallas-Fort Worth area rely on fundraising events to generate revenue, raise awareness, and build community around their cause. Whether it is a charity walk with a family-friendly festival at the finish line, a community awareness day, or an annual carnival fundraiser, the right event rentals can make a significant difference in turnout, engagement, and money raised.
Clown Around Party Rental understands that non-profits are working with tighter budgets and bigger goals than most. We have been working with community organizations, charities, and non-profits across DFW since 1999, and we are happy to talk through options that get you the most impact for your investment.
Rentals That Deliver Value for Fundraisers
Carnival Games
Carnival game booths are one of the most fundraiser-friendly rentals we offer. They are affordable to rent, easy for volunteers to run, and lend themselves naturally to a ticket or pay-per-play model that generates consistent revenue throughout your event.
Bounce Houses and Inflatables
Bounce houses and combo inflatables are crowd-pleasers that keep families engaged and extend how long guests stay at your event. The longer guests stay, the more they spend. Inflatables also serve as a strong visual draw that makes your event look well-organized and worth attending.
Carnival Rides
For larger fundraising events and community festivals, carnival rides create a true event atmosphere that justifies higher ticket prices and draws more attendees. They are particularly effective for signature annual events where you want to establish a reputation for a well-produced fundraiser.
Trackless Trains
A trackless train is a natural fit for ticket-based fundraising events. They are popular with young children, easy to charge per ride, and operate smoothly throughout the event without requiring much from your volunteer team.
Dunk Tanks
Dunk tanks are a proven fundraising tool. Charge per throw, put a well-known local figure or organization leader in the seat, and watch donations follow. They generate buzz and attention throughout your event and are among the most cost-effective rentals you can add to a fundraiser.
Food and Concessions
Concession rentals are among the most direct revenue generators at fundraising events. Popcorn machines, snow cone makers, and cotton candy machines carry low overhead, are easy for volunteers to manage, and turn a steady profit throughout the day when priced appropriately.
Interactive and Life-Size Games
Interactive game rentals add activity to your event that appeals to adults as well as children. They are especially useful for non-profit events with a broad audience that includes community members who may not be there specifically for the kids.
Movie Screens
A movie screen setup works well for evening fundraising events. An outdoor movie night can serve as the main event itself or as a wind-down activity for a longer festival. They work well paired with concession rentals for a complete experience.
Making the Most of Your Event Budget
Prioritize Revenue-Generating Rentals
When budget is a factor, start with the rentals that have the most direct path to revenue. Carnival games, concessions, dunk tanks, and trackless trains are all items that can pay for themselves through ticket or per-use pricing. Build your event around those first, then add atmosphere rentals like inflatables if your budget allows.
Use Volunteers Strategically
Carnival game booths and concession stations are designed to be run by volunteers. Our equipment handles the rest. Having a clear volunteer assignment plan before your event starts keeps everything running smoothly and reduces the chance of activity stations going unmanned.
Price Your Activities Thoughtfully
If you are using a ticket or wristband system, make sure your pricing covers your rental costs with room to generate profit. We can give you rental pricing upfront so you can build your activity pricing around it.
Book Early for Better Availability
Non-profit events often happen in peak season, whether that is spring community days, summer festivals, or fall fundraisers. Booking 6 to 8 weeks in advance gives you access to the full range of our inventory and avoids the risk of your preferred equipment already being reserved.
