Explore Venues For Your Event
Non-Profit
NONPROFIT VENUES
So many factors play into finding the perfect venue for your special event. You need a venue in a convenient location that suits the tone of your event. You have to consider what size venue is ideal for your expected number of guests and often have to work within the constraints of a specific budget. Scenery and style matter, as do any included perks offered by the venue. And for some, there’s an added layer to consider. If you want to not only host a great event, but also cause some good to happen because of it, you may want to look into renting an event space from a non-profit company.
Supporting a worthy cause with your event injects a little bit of feel-good karma into your soiree, giving organizers and guests alike an additional reason to enjoy the day. But there are a lot of fundraising venues out there. How do you know which are non-profit event venues, versus those that are for profit? And what does the process of renting space to a non-profit or for a non-profit entail? Are you looking for venues for non-profit events, or are you trying to host your for-profit event at a non-profit venue to help support their worthy cause? How does this change the search process?
We know it’s a lot to navigate, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the not-for-profit world. As experts in the venue rental industry, our team at Unique Venues can help you find a non-profit venue that will not only make your event an absolute showstopper, but that will also give financial support to a cause that you believe in.

Non-Profit & Fundraising Venues
As an industry-leader in the venue sector, we partner with venues in all 50 states, as well as Canada, and have over a dozen not-for-profit venues available on our site—and that number is only expected to grow!
With an ever-growing interest in using parties and events to do good and help improve our world, more and more party and event planners are seeking that little “something extra” to take their events to the next level. A great way to do this is to partner with a venue that supports a local charity or non-profit initiative.

Chicago Botanic Garden Chicago, IL
Meanwhile, one of the most beautiful event venues in the Chicago area is the Chicago Botanic Garden. This stunning, sprawling collection of flowers, plants, trees, and an array of gorgeous landscapes is a non-profit horticultural museum operated exclusively for educational and scientific purposes. When you rent an event space from them, the fee goes directly to the initiatives designed to keep the garden clean, maintained, and open for researchers, guests, and students.
This truly one-of-a-kind venue offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor spaces, many of which look like they came straight out of a fine art painting or a fairytale. This is an ideal location for a wedding, with a plethora of ceremony and reception areas available, ranging from waterside terraces, to quaint bridges, to beautiful outdoor dining areas canopied by elegant, exotic plants. Couples can feel confident choosing the Chicago Botanic Garden not only because of its unmatched beauty, but also because weddings here support a wonderful cause that impacts the whole community.

HQO D.C. Metro Area
For example, HQO Events is a new venue in the DC metro area. It’s quickly become a premier destination for corporate events and weddings, and it’s not hard to see why. Seated on the edge of the Anacostia River in Navy Yard, the venue is within walking distance of D.C.’s sports stadiums. The sleek, glass exterior adds an air of modern elegance to the three stories of nearly 40,000 square feet of cutting edge, contemporary indoor/outdoor space, including waterfront, rooftop, and indoor gathering areas. Plus, the building is LEED Platinum+ certified, meaning that you don’t need to worry about the kind of environmental impact your event will have.
In addition to being environmentally sustainable, the space openly promotes the mission of D.C. water. Rental fees support Blue Drop, a powerful local non-profit whose mission is to relieve economic strain on DC-area ratepayers.
