About this event

How do you organize memorable, meaningful events despite staff shortages and tight budgets? Whether it’s a fundraiser, a camp, or a program-related gathering, these events can be costly. Small nonprofits often face the challenge of maximizing impact with limited time, staff, and funds.

This session explores practical strategies for planning, coordinating, and managing events that advance your mission without overextending your organization.

Attendees will learn how to:

Align event activities with event goals, such as attendance, engagement, volunteer recruitment, and fundraising.
Evaluate different types of events and identify tools and resources to support effective event management.
Prioritize what matters most, make thoughtful use of available resources, and deliver engaging experiences that meet your goals.

Ideal for: Executive directors and development professionals, as well as marketing or event managers at small nonprofits.
