If you are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, I'm sure you're taking full advantage of any charity discounts you can get your hands on. However, if you're a for-profit organization that hosts events to benefit charities, you could also be receiving the discount as well, depending on the type of event and the level of benefit for the charity.
I'm currently planning a corporate golf tournament where all the money raised will go directly to our not-for-profit charity. As I'm researching and connecting with golf courses, I've been able to get their charity rates since all money raised goes directly to the charity. The discounts can range anywhere from 5-15%, in addition to donations to the silent auction. You may not think that's much, but for a $25,000 tournament, that could be a savings of $1,250-$3750.
Be sure to explain whatever your situation is and ask if your event would qualify for a not-for-profit discount. The worst thing they will say is no!
