Our Program

How many times have you heard, “Here’s a great idea. Let’s put on a golf tournament” or “We’ll just add a silent auction to make up the difference at the gala”? Every development professional has faced the question “to event fundraise or not to event fundraise?” In this month’s program, we invite our members and friends to join us for a panel discussion on revenue generating events.

Our panelists will discuss questions like:

  • How to decide if a fundraiser is worth doing?; 
  • How to best assess the time it will take to plan an event prior to beginning the process? 
  • What tools do you use to determine this?; 
  • How to keep your event budget low to increase ROI? 
Our panelists come from a variety of organization sizes and nonprofit event planning backgrounds and will offer diverse feedback and tips! Please be sure to come with your own questions, as well. We’ll have time for Q&A with the panel at the end of their discussion.

Approved for 1.25 hours of CFRE credit.
