Beyond Bake Sales: Strategic insights for fundraising events is part of an IntegralOrg Fundraising series of workshops.

Any nonprofit that has hosted a fundraising event knows that they often demand extensive effort, time, and resources. And once the event ends, we all often just want to tally up our proceeds and move on.

Whether your nonprofit relies on repeating annual traditions or you are aiming to add a new major fundraising event, it’s important to step back and consider if your fundraising event practices are sustainable, impactful, and in line with your broader organizational goals. And perhaps most important, is evaluating if your events actually generate a net return.

This workshop offers an overview of key strategic considerations when hosting a fundraising event including:

• What is the return on investment (ROI) of fundraising events?

• How to decide what type of event best fits my organization, its mission and vision.

• What to consider when determining my event’s budget.

• What costs are often missed when evaluating net return?

• What to consider when partnering with others on fundraising events.
