📣Nonprofit leaders! Raise more money through special events and create repeat donors from those events. During this half-day workshop, you’ll learn how to create, plan, and organize your event so that you’ll raise more money💸, add new donors to your donor list that will continue to give after the event, and identify people who will become ambassadors for your organization. You’ll also learn how to make the events easier for you and your team so you’re not working yourself to death before, during and after the event. I’ve compiled everything I’ve learned about event fundraising during my thirty years as a nonprofit fundraiser and CEO and I’ll share my secrets with you. My process works with any type of event because I’ve done them all: simple luncheons to extravagant galas, golf tournaments, canister campaigns, festivals & expos, trade shows, runs, walks, and everything in between. We’ll cover everything from the idea to the execution of event and beyond. This won’t be just me and PowerPoint telling you what to do. You’ll have time to actually work on your event and come away with a solid plan to implement an amazingly successful event. The best part is your investment is only $75 and three hours of your time! Additional people from the same organization are only $65 (limit of 2 extra people). Click here for the all the details and to reserve your space. https://zurl.co/Kvgg

Seems like event season is in full swing now. Here's how one nonprofit collected 240 video and photo testimonies during their fundraiser event. Now that spring hit and I'm seeing nonprofits leaders pulled between all the components that hosting an event entails, it's definitely taking me back. The pre-planning. Building an agenda. Sponsorship outreach. Updating the event website. Creating marketing materials. Selling tickets. Hosting the actual event. Raising money during the live auction or donation campaign. And then trying to showcase the event impact after it all wraps. I remember the energy I got from the thrill of all that, that but also the exhaustion. I also recall how often I lamented that the whirlwind of activity made it so easy for our team to overlook collecting photos and videos taken by attendees. We knew people were using their devices to capture photos but we frequently missed out on that lost marketing collateral to show a highlight reel or use for future promotion. That's definitely one of the reasons why I love this effort by Wounded Warrior Homes during their golf event last year. They seamlessly collect content on the spot, and there's definitely something to be said for doing it real time the day of versus trying to collect after the fact. Here's how they did it: 1. Collect Designated 2 volunteers to be their content collection champions. They were stationed at check-in and at one of the holes and asked golfers why the cause was important to them. They were able to collect 240 photos and videos during the day from attendees. 2. Organize The photos pushed into their story bank and then directly into Canva. This made it super easy for their team to access the content instantaneously. 3. Share The sharing is the best part. The event wrapped up with a reception and silent auction. During this they played a slideshow of all the photos and videos collected earlier in the day. They quickly made it in Canva and displayed on their big screen during dinner and cocktail hour. Now it lives on their website in promotion of the 2024 golf outing. Here's the full story: https://lnkd.in/g_4fQYSd #events #nonprofitevents #fundraising
