Technology. Gotta love it, gotta hate it. Whenever I’m at an event and look around the room, I see people everywhere on their phones, texting, scrolling through social media. Our devices have ruined our ability to stay in the moment, to remain engaged. 

Fundraising events are an excellent way to bring in generous donations while engaging with your supporters in a fun, energetic environment.

Whether you’re planning a large, formal gala or a community-based school auction, these strategies will assist you in taking your fundraising event from okay to astounding.

Take a moment to think of all the ways you can engage your volunteers. There are many ways to reach your supporters but retaining them may be more of a challenge. Your organization spends countless hours training and recruiting volunteers. You put a lot of effort into every volunteer who participates with your organization. Wouldn’t it be nice to retain every volunteer you recruit?
