Learning to have inexpensive fundraising events for your nonprofit is about being resourceful, creative, and focused on your mission. You don't need a big budget to make a meaningful impact. By keeping it simple, sticking to what works,  leveraging volunteers with a skill set, engaging donors, and thinking strategically about costs, you can host events that raise funds and build lasting relationships with your community. Remember, it's not about how much you spend—it's about how much heart you put into the effort. In today's podcast, Jamie Truman from Truman Charities and Stephen Halasnik from Financing Solutions (https://financingsolutionsnow.com/) discuss how to have inexpensive fundraising events for your nonprofit. Every nonprofit should have a line of credit, just in case. Visit www.nonprofitmbapodcast.com to learn more

Empowering Nonprofits with Strategies for Fundraising and Emotional Connections When entering the nonprofit world, fundraising can seem very difficult. This is especially true if you do not have fundraising strategies. Solid fundraising strategies can revitalize your energy toward your mission by helping you stay focused and more efficient. Identifying Your Ideal Donor To effectively engage with donors, nonprofits should develop an 'Ideal Donor Avatar,' similar to identifying your soulmate client. This process involves analyzing existent donor databases to identify who you want to attract. By building a detailed profile that considers socioeconomic status, existing philanthropic interests, and historical engagement, you can tailor your nonprofit's messaging to speak to your ideal avatar. Strategies for Fundraising: Events, Grants, and Individual Giving Your fundraising strategies should include more than just the traditional methods. While events can be beneficial, here are three core areas that should be included in your fundraising strategies: Individual Giving: Focus on existing donors first before seeking new ones. Start with your donor list and create personalized communication strategies for donors who can give more. It is essential to have a detailed donor database and understand your donor demographics to converse with those donors to deepen relationships and increase contributions. Grant Strategies: Your organization needs a solid narrative that shares your statistics while weaving in storytelling to make a case for your organization. Building solid relationships with grantmakers and understanding their interests is also crucial.  The Importance of Internal Clarity: Clear internal communication translates to external donor confidence. Ensuring every board member and volunteer communicates the same values and mission strengthens the organization's brand and helps garner more significant support. Emotional Connection Leadership: Building Bonds Within Your Team The concept of emotional connection leadership, based on the teachings of Dr. Lola Gershfeld, highlights the importance of emotional bonds within your team, which are achieved through shared goals and mutual support. Creating these bonds involves proper onboarding, clarification of roles and expectations, and regular emotional check-ins. By fostering an environment where team members feel valued and connected, nonprofits can move towards their goals more effectively.   Access Full Show Notes and All Links

September 15 2024- Athletic Fundraising Events vs. Traditional Galas & When Is It The Right Time To Take Your CPP? This morning the annual Terry Fox Run is underway with 15,000 participants here in Toronto and many more across the country. Last weekend, The Princess Margaret's Walk to End Cancer raised a record 3.5M with 1500 walkers. As fundraisers recover from Covid, athletic participation events are eclipsing traditional galas more than ever. I talked with Steve Merker, Vice President Corporate and Community Partnerships, PMCF, and co-founder of Ride to Conquer Cancer. And It's one of the most critical financial decisions Zoomers face, and most of us don't give it the attention it deserves. The decision about when to take CPP will affect your finances for decades and you can collect a great deal more if you defer it from the age of 65 to the age of 70. Dr. Bonnie-Jeanne MacDonald, is the Director of Financial Security Research of the National institute on Ageing and she looked at the reason why more people don't do that.

It's time for another change!  We continue our Petrus Development Show Q+A series on important development topics, but this week's episode features a new voice from the Petrus family.  Join us as Rhen interviews Matt Bond, Petrus consultant and executive director of the Santa Fe Family Life Center in Oklahoma City.  Matt and Rhen discuss a variety of potential donor events, and they share their thoughts on which events are most worth the time and effort.   Rhen and Matt are very clear about the challenges of beginning large fundraising events such as galas and golf tournaments.  Instead, they share ideas about events that are smaller, more manageable, and potentially even more successful in the long run.   Specifically, Matt answers the following questions: What types of donor events can an organization consider?  Do different events have different puposes?What kind of time and investment should you expect for large events like galas?Why might several smaller events be better than one large event where you can raise a lot of money at once?If you go for smaller events, how do you decide who to invite?  What does a sample agenda look like for the event?Is there a best day of the week for donor events? Can events be an organization's main source of revenue?  

In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Pam Osmond, Fund Development Manager at Home Horizon, a local charity in Collingwood, Ontario that provides transitional housing, programs and support for youth at risk of homelessness. Pam kicks things off by walking us through Home Horizon's three signature events, which bring in almost 25% of their total revenue (who says events aren't valuable?!), and what she feels is one of the not-so-obvious reasons for their success: private ski clubs. As you'll hear from Amy throughout the episode, Pam is one of the best good humans and we feel lucky to have gotten a peek behind the curtain as she opens up about her personal story which includes being a hotel night manager, a cross-country tour with a group of Kenyan choir children and being a Habitat for Humanity home recipient.

In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Ted McCartan, Sr. Director, Community Engagement at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Foundation. Right from the get-go, Ted's passion and dedication for his team and what they do shines through. He kicks off by telling us his 'why' for hosting an event, and while the simple answer is to raise money, Ted proves that there's more to it. He also inspires us with stories about virtual events his team created during COVID and how he's not afraid to stop an event that's not achieving their goals. Better to try an event and stop it, then not try at all - we couldn't agree more! This episode is filled to the brim with what we like to call "Ted Tips" including why you can't sell event swag and why beer, ice cream and bubbles are all you need at your event. At the end of the day, it comes back to your organization's values which will help to guide the decisions you make. Ted is kind enough to share his team's values and trust us, they are worth listening to!Ted is always happy to connect with others in the industry, so feel free to reach out via LinkedIn.Toward the end of the episode, Ted references a book by Harry Kraemer, so we've linked it here in case you want to check it out!

Welcome to CHRISTIAN ROCKETEERS Podcast!

In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Kevin McMahon, Sr. Director, Peer to Peer & Community Fundraising at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP for short!). When Kevin left his marketing job with the Philadelphia Eagles to join CHOP 11 years ago, he had no experience in healthcare and would get tripped up (and even struggle to pronounce!) the word 'philanthropy'. Those days are long over. Kevin walks us through their events portfolio which is divided into four categories: special events, executive events, peer-to-peer events and community events. He emphasizes the importance of being donor-centric and how having great relationships with other teams (marketing, communications, individual giving, etc.) is the key to success. Kevin lets us in on his own definition of "R and D" (it's not what you think!) and reminds us that you don't always have to create an original event idea. The Philly Spin-In event is a great example of an event concept that existed in the peer-to-peer space, and by ensuring that it made sense for them as an organization and met their strategic objectives, it became a very successful fundraising event. Kevin and Amy also have an important conversation around how to recognize those who are participating in memory of a lost loved one. Kevin's words of wisdom are worth their weight in gold, so we highly recommend having a pen and paper ready so you don't miss anything!For more information on the amazing work that CHOP is doing, check out their website.“If we lead with community and belonging, then fundraising will follow.” – Kevin McMahonConnect with us:Beyond Fundraising Inc: https://www.startingbeyond.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-milne-8946791/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milneamyr/https://www.instagram.com/startbeyond/

In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Erica Helphand, Managing Partner & COO at OP 3 Events. Erica's passion for non-profit events started over 20 years ago when she went to cheer on friends at the finish line of The Northeast AIDS Ride (now known as Cycle for the Cause), and she's been in the biz ever since. Erica talks about how the pandemic gave non-profit organizations the opportunity to reset their priorities, allowing them to come back their 'why' and focus on what is important to their constituents. Together, Amy and Erica share some of the small things you can do to not only elevate your event experience, but make it fun. At the top of their list: make parking a priority and don't be afraid of cheeky signage. Erica has always been a crew member to the core and really encourages non-profits to view their volunteers as participants rather than an after-thought. To wrap things up, Amy and Erica have an important conversation around gender equity for women in the non-profit sector, and take a moment to celebrate that OP 3 is a certified Women Owned company!To find out more about OP 3 events, check out www.thoseeventgirls.com and you can also get in touch with Erica directly via email at Erica@op-3.com.“You don't want the ice bucket challenge, you want YOUR ice bucket challenge.” - Erica HelphandConnect with us:Beyond Fundraising Inc: https://www.startingbeyond.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-milne-8946791/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milneamyr/https://www.instagram.com/startbeyond/

We've been doing events even before Handbid was born in 2011. We've been involved in hundreds of them, so we've seen a thing or two! We all have stories about the good, the bad, and the ugly. We've been there, schlepping in the extreme heat and checking in guests in the extreme cold. We know that event planners and managers wear many hats and have to be willing to do anything and everything to make an event successful. You're the main problem solver of the day, and you have to be ready to jump into action whenever there's something that needs fixing, whether it's rolling silverware or serving food to hungry attendees (or both!). Today the Handbid team is sharing some of their best (and worst!) event moments, and they give 4 practical tactics you can start implementing today that will make your event a success. Let Handbid help you raise mo' money for your organization. Talk to us!  The Show Notes for this episode can be found here: www.handbid.com/podcast/4-practical-tactics-that-will-make-every-event-a-success

This true understanding of how God uses gifts from us to release fresh spiritual blessing into our lives is as old as the hills and as different from the prosperity gospel as can be.

We live in a time where some are very wealthy and some are struggling. We live in a time where much of the Western church seems to have a superficial spirituality. How much of that is due to our captivation by the idol of materialism?

It's been a wonderful third season of the Philanthropy United Podcast! Today we dive into our favorite moments from season 3. To our guests, thank you so much for taking the time to share your impact stories. We love you all! XO, Leila and Kendalwww.philanthropyunited.com 

Rebekah's Founders Story: I founded Coffee and Kindness after watching my brother, Steven, change nearly every life he came in contact with. Steven has Down Syndrome and on top of being the inspiration for this nonprofit,  a dedicated employee, and an active member of his community, he is best known for the kindness he spreads. Are you in love yet? Coffee and Kindness plans to break the stigma around people with developmental disabilities through meaningful employment and community involvement. With over 82% of people with disabilities unemployed or underemployed, it's time we value people with differences and their gifts and talents we are missing out on!  In addition to internships and employment opportunities on our coffee truck (planning to open in the summer 2023), we plan to offer job exploration and coaching, and job carving in local businesses. We believe everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and included, and we pursue that through our community outreach programs. Most importantly, we exist to support individuals with developmental disabilities as they pursue their most meaningful life! Together we can create a more inclusive and accessible workforce while most importantly helping spread the one thing the world needs most right now, KINDNESS...and coffee.www.coffeekindness.org ---As always, we are here to help.

This week, we sit down and list out all of the reasons why we love virtual events. Whether you're in the camp that has embraced the digital revolution for events, between 100% virtual and hybrid events, or someone who's been a little resistant, we lay out all of the pros of having a virtual event, as a planner and an organizer. Learn more about why we think virtual events are here to stay and some of the benefits of adding this skill to your event toolkit. —— SHOW NOTES: Mary's Untethered Presentation - The Future of Fundraising Events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yBKVrVFKNo FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @bettereventspod @loganstrategygroup_events (Logan) @epeventsllc (Mary) Want to support the podcast?

Nonprofit organizations continuously evolve and adapt to changing times. One of the most visible evolutions in recent years has included a move to virtual or hybrid fundraising events. Anca Trifan, Founder of Tree-Fan Events, joins the podcast to discuss planning tips and strategies to execute successful virtual and hybrid fundraising events.

Love them or hate them, fundraising events are here to stay. But in the age of COVID, your events may look a bit different. Virtual, in-person, hybrid - how will your nonprofit know which one to choose? And how to balance health and safety considerations with our very human longing to get back together in person?In the latest episode of Nonprofit Nation, I ask fundraising visionary Claire Axelrad, J.D., CFRE, how to manage a fundraising program through times of uncertainty, how to use digital fundraising, and how to change the minds of a board that REALLY wants to continue with an in-person 400 guest gala.  Claire has one of the top-rated fundraising blogs on the planet, and 30 years of frontline development work helping organizations raise millions in support. Her award-winning blog showcases her practical approach, which earned her the AFP “Outstanding Fundraising Professional of the Year” award. After leaving the nonprofit trenches, Claire began her coaching practice and founded the online “Clairification School” – often referred to as the best bargain in fundraising.Here are some of the topics we discussed:The pros and the cons of nonprofit fundraising eventsHow to make the shift to hybrid and/or virtual fundraising eventsHow to help reluctant staff and board members embrace new ideas for eventsTrends in the fundraising event space and pitfalls to avoidConnect with Claire: https://clairification.com/https://twitter.com/charityclairityhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/claireaxelrad/Do me a favor?
