📣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

Recently, we had the privilege at Soulheart of helping a nonprofit in North Georgia plan their annual Gala. It was such a rewarding experience, and seeing the event come together—raising crucial funds and building stronger community connections—reminded us of how important it is to have a well-structured plan. Whether you're hosting a fundraising event, a community outreach program, or a gala like theirs, planning with purpose is key to success. That’s why we’ve created the Nonprofit Event Planning Guide, a resource that breaks down the essential steps to help you execute an unforgettable event. Planning an impactful nonprofit event takes more than just creativity—it requires strategy, consistency, and smart marketing. Our guide covers everything from goal-setting and budgeting to promotion and follow-up, providing you with the tools to make your next event a success. 📥 Download the guide today and take your nonprofit events to the next level: https://lnkd.in/gY8wM9E2 What’s the most memorable nonprofit event you’ve attended or planned?

🎯Applying Fundraising Principles to Your Gala Fundraising is about more than dollars raised—it’s about building connections and inspiring generosity. Let’s break down five key fundraising principles from The Complete Guide to Fundraising Management by Weinstein and Barden, and how they apply to your next event: 1️⃣ “People give to people to help people.” Donors give because they believe in your mission. Ensure every attendee knows why their participation matters. Equip table captains and sponsors with talking points to help guests connect to your cause. 2️⃣ “People give in relation to their means and to what others give.” At your paddle raise, celebrate gifts of all sizes. Offering multiple ways to give ensures every attendee can participate meaningfully, regardless of budget. 3️⃣ “Those closest to the organization must set the pace.” Leadership starts with your board. If your board members aren’t leading by example—raising their paddles and giving generously—why would others follow? 4️⃣ “The right ask at the right time in the right way.” The best person to ask for a donation is someone with a connection to the prospect. Use this principle to turn sponsor tables into mission-focused opportunities. 5️⃣ “The 80/20 rule is becoming the 90/10 rule.” Don’t rely solely on a few major donors. A balanced donor base strengthens your organization during uncertain times and ensures long-term sustainability. By aligning your gala strategy with these principles, you can create an event that not only raises funds but also deepens relationships and strengthens your mission. 💬How would you apply any of these ideas to your next event? #FundraisingSuccess #NonprofitLeadership #GalaPlanning #DonorEngagement #MissionDriven #FundraisingAuctioneer #FundraisingStrategy
