EVENT BASED FUNDRAISING
How do we get started?
We learn everything there is to know about your mission, programs, and contributors. We actually create email addresses so there is seamless communication with the donors. All of the emails, phone calls, follow through, and upselling is taken care of – you will work with us to ensure that we have the right information, for instance you want to maintain your relationship with a certain group of donors or you would like to do the negotiating once the commitment is made, etc. We tailor our services to your unique situation.
​
Our goal is two-fold:
-
We will always consider ourselves to be the primary partner with your organization to make your event the best attended and most lucrative possible.
-
Upon completion of the event, we will impart a thorough, up to date database that can be used for your next event or campaign.
With every event, the smallest of details must be attended to, and the guests need to have the most memorable time and the sponsors will be catered to throughout the process – before, during and afterwards. Follow up is essential. We know that these individuals, foundations and businesses will be the base for your foundation for the next 20 years.
What is the process?
We will review or create all current materials – i.e.: Save the Date, Website page for the event, Sponsorship Levels handout and much more.
We will need to have the basics at our disposal or help develop them as needed - Organizational Budget, 501c3 letter, Annual Report, and much more.
​
We will commence the initial internal targeted outreach utilizing Board Members and Advisory Board Members contact lists, Former Donors – Event Participants, Vendor List, and much more.
We will then begin external outreach to many different groups, including but not limited to, donor lists from similar organizations, all local corporate giving or family foundations, local corporations and small businesses, etc.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
We typically can make individualized contacts with hundreds of potential donors weekly. Building on your information, we can increase the both the number of gifts as well as the size of gift over years past. With personalized writings and conversations, we can not only increase your pre-event dollars but help you structure your event
