Ever overlooked this detail in your #charityevent planning? → Strategic seat placement. Why does it matter? Placing your high-energy guests near the stage can create an infectious enthusiasm that sweeps through the crowd, boosting overall engagement. On the other hand, seating quieter attendees close to influential speakers or VIPs can spark deep, meaningful conversations, leading to more thoughtful, significant donations. These tweaks in your fundraiser seating strategy can transform a good fundraising event into a great one.

It’s tempting to think that putting together (another) event will solve fundraising needs, and while events can certainly play a part in a development strategy, I’d caution against having that be the first or only option being considered. Early in my career, I spoke with a more seasoned fundraiser and shared how proud I was that I had quadrupled revenue from an auction I had organized from $50k to $200k – which for the organization I was working with at the time was a huge accomplishment. She said that it wouldn’t be worth her time to work on an auction, and that it would be better, smarter, and more efficient for her to work with her portfolio of donors and get 4 of them to make $50k gifts each. Honestly, I felt a little deflated at her response, but once I got past that I realized the importance of what she shared. So next time someone suggests “just having an event,” take a moment to consider what you hope to achieve with the event (why are you doing it?); capacity (do you have the staff power needed and do they have the bandwidth available?); the totality of what it will cost to produce the event (hard costs plus staff time); and if moving forward with an event will yield the ROI needed.   #nonprofitfundraising #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitevents
