Carolyn Woodard explores the technology behind nonprofit fundraising events with Justin Goodhew, CEO and co-founder of Trellis. Galas and in-person events have come roaring back since COVID, and they have changed — guests expect and enjoy more experiential, mission-centered evenings. But the pressure on staff has not let up. As AI begins to reshape data entry and reconciliation, the nonprofits that thrive will be the ones who have already built the right technology foundations under their events.Justin brings years of experience helping nonprofits run galas that integrate cleanly into their existing systems — and he has seen firsthand what separates a smooth, energizing event from one that leaves staff burnt out. The conversation covers how to think about technology adoption the right way, how to make smarter asks on the big night, and how to use post-event data to deepen donor relationships before the window closes.Justin and Carolyn discuss:Why events have become more experiential since COVID, and how nonprofits can use that shift to bring donors closer to their mission.The three Ps of event technology adoption: procedure, people, and product — and why most organizations get the order wrong.How seamless integration between your event platform and your CRM or ERP protects staff from burnout and keeps donor data actionable.How the right data quickly allows you to identify your highest-value attendees and make the right asks at the right moment. And how data helps you plan the right type and right-sized event for your highest value donors. Why moving reconciliation and data planning to the front end of your event planning cycle - the three months in advance of your date - changes everything about the days that immediately follow your gala.Resources Mentioned:Trellis — https://www.trellis.org _______________________________Start a conversation :)Register to attend a webinar in real time, and find all past transcripts at https://communityit.com/webinars/email Carolyn at cwoodard@communityit.comon LinkedIn on reddit/r/nonprofitITmanagementon the Community IT websiteThanks for listening.

From tradie apprentice to building a business with 97 percent staff retention, Adam proves great teams aren't luck. They are built on trust, empathy, and rejecting "that's just how it is."Adam shares the small choices that kept his people loyal: high end tools, eight to ten shirts for Queensland's heat, and customer first autonomy. He also opens up about surviving a house fire that left him clinically dead, a second chance that reshaped his approach to work, family, and legacy.He speaks frankly on why construction struggles to retain women, what microaggressions look like on site, and why change must start from the bottom up with young men aged 17 to 25.

It has a thinking problem.”“Hard work creates the luck that people see.”“If you can do it today, don't put it off until tomorrow.”“Customers are loyal to the person, not the company.”“Don't ever be too busy to make sure your door is always open.”“The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.”About Our Guest:Adam Woodley is a refrigeration and air conditioning professional who built and scaled a service business in Queensland from scratch, achieving industry leading retention rates.

How to get out (and stay out) of a prison you may not eve know you're in.

While authority is often misused and leads to cynicism , it remains a life-giving gift designed by God for our flourishing. This message explores how biblical authority—when exercised under God's ultimate rule—acts as a "trellis" that provides the structure for the "vine" of our lives to grow upward and bear fruit. By looking at the five offices of authority and the example of Jesus as the Servant King, we learn to move from self-serving leadership to a practice that brings order, safety, and shalom to the world around us.

Send us Fan MailAre fundraising galas truly worth the investment, or are they being misunderstood?In this episode of The Difference, a podcast from Convergent, Host Jay Werth sits down with Justin Goodhew, CEO and Co-founder of Trellis, to unpack how nonprofits can rethink events as more than one-night fundraisers. With experience helping over 500 organizations raise more than $100 million, Justin brings a data-driven perspective to one of the sector's most debated strategies.The conversation challenges a common assumption: that events should be judged by immediate net profit. Instead, Justin reframes them as “moments of belonging”, powerful opportunities to build long-term donor relationships and unlock future revenue.Together, they explore:Why traditional ROI metrics fail to capture the full value of eventsWhere “hidden revenue” lives beyond the night of the galaHow events create uniquely human connections in an increasingly algorithm-driven worldThe most overlooked data points nonprofits should be tracking and how to capture them without sophisticated toolsPractical tactics like “Donate Your Bid” and multiple giving drivers to increase engagement without creating donor fatigueHow to reduce friction in the giving experience and avoid leaving money on the tableThe episode also dives into post-event strategy, including the critical follow-up window and how to turn one-time attendees into lifelong advocates.Plus, a rapid-fire lightning round covering:Galas vs. golf tournaments for long-term ROIThe biggest “revenue leak” at nonprofit eventsThe one data point every fundraiser should sync to their CRMAnd what the future of fundraising really looks likeJustin makes a compelling case that the organizations best positioned for long-term resilience are those that create meaningful opportunities for people to gather, connect, and belong.To learn more and access additional resources, visit convergentnonprofit.com.Thanks for listening to The Difference... and for making a difference in your corner of the world.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Are Galas Actually Worth It? Let's be honest. Most nonprofit leaders have a love-hate relationship with galas. They take a ton of time. They stress out your team. And sometimes… they barely break even.  So it's a fair question: Are galas actually worth it? After my recent conversation with Justin Goodhew, I think the better question is: When and how can galas be worth it? The Problem Isn't the Gala Galas get blamed for poor results. But the real issue is how they're used. Many organizations treat their gala like a one-night fundraiser. Sell tickets. Run an auction. Hope it makes money. That's where things fall apart. Because a gala is not a standalone strategy. It's a tool. Many organizations hold galas as an early stage fundraising strategy, but the reality is galas are an advanced tactic or tool to be used as part of a fundraising strategy focused on relationship based fundraising.  What a Gala Is Actually For A gala is an opportunity to: • Get your certain supporters in a room • Get your donors introducing new potential donors to your mission • Generate an emotional connection, a collective effervesce of mission support  That can be incredibly valuable. But only if you use it that way. Justin put it simply: Events aren't the alternative to relationship-building. They're one of the tools that make it happen. The First Shift: Cover Your Costs Early One of the most practical takeaways: Your event should be paid for before it starts. That means focusing on: • Sponsorships • Table buyers • A small group of committed supporters Instead of trying to sell hundreds of individual tickets, you focus on a smaller number of people who can bring others. That does two things: • It removes financial risk • It gets the right people in the room And the second one matters more. The Second Shift: Pay Attention to Behavior This was one of my favorite ideas. During the event, people are constantly telling you who they are. Not with words. With actions. Who bids high? Who donates even when they don't win? Who gives quietly without recognition? That's your data. And it's far more reliable than anything someone says in a conversation. If you pay attention, your gala becomes one of the best donor research tools you have. The Third Shift: The Real Money Comes After a.k.a tThe Fortune is in the Follow-up Here's where most organizations miss the opportunity. They run the event… They're exhausted… And then they move on. But the real value of a gala isn't what happens that night. It's what happens after. This is where you: • Follow up with the right people • Build real relationships • Turn attendees into long-term donors If you skip this step, you lose most of the ROI!!! A Better Way to Think About It A well-run gala shouldn't be a burden. It should: • Cover its costs upfront • Bring in the right people • Generate valuable donor data • Feed your long-term fundraising strategy That's a completely different experience. If You Only Take One Thing Away A gala is not about the night. It's about what the night makes possible. If you treat it like a one-time fundraiser, it will disappoint you. If you treat it like a relationship-building engine, there can be a pot of gold at the end of the gala rainbow.  About the Guest My guest for this episode is Justin Goodhew.   Justin Goodhew is the Co-Founder and CEO of Trellis.org, the leading integrated gala and auction software for Blackbaud's Raiser's Edge. After attending fundraising conferences and interviewing nonprofit professionals, he discovered that events - especially galas - were one of the biggest untapped opportunities to drive meaningful donation growth. Today, Trellis has helped raise over $100 million through auctions and paddle raises, powering more than 500 galas across North America. Justin is passionate about helping charities unlock real ROI from events and is excited to share his insights today.

Send us Fan MailNonprofits can turn fundraising events into more efficient, donor-friendly, revenue-generating experiences that support long-term growth. Most events are full of potential, but this learning session makes it clear that the strongest galas are no longer built around chaos, long lines, and overworked staff. In this energizing conversation, Justin Goodhew, Co-Founder and CEO of Trellis, makes the case that event success is not just about what happens in the ballroom. It starts before the event with better use of donor data, stronger integration with internal systems, and smarter choices about where staff time should go. He explains that many organizations stop doing galas not because events no longer matter, but because the process drains team capacity. By simplifying check-in, reducing friction, and using technology that connects with existing CRM and finance systems, nonprofits can free staff and volunteers to focus on donor relationships rather than administrative bottlenecks.He also brings a strong business lens to revenue strategy. Instead of piling on low-yield activities that consume time, Justin encourages nonprofits to focus on the highest net return, such as paddle raises, major auction items, and thoughtfully designed upsell options. As he puts it, “We're actually really a fundraising and a donor retention platform disguised as an event platform.” That perspective shifts the conversation from event logistics to donor value and lifetime engagement.One of the key takeaways is Justin's emphasis on what happens after the event. Fast follow-up, integrated donor data, and immediate action are what turn a one-night attendee into a future supporter. He also shares that strategic auction upsells can produce “about 6 to 7% increase in revenue” simply by giving donors another easy, mission-aligned way to give.This session is a smart reminder that nonprofit events do not need to disappear. They need to evolve. With the right systems, intentional design, and a stronger focus on donor experience, galas can become more productive, more profitable, and far more sustainable for nonprofit teams! 00:00:00 Welcome 00:02:24 What Trellis.org Does for Nonprofit Events 00:04:29 Growing Event Revenue With Limited Staff 00:06:32 Faster Check-In and Better Donor Experience 00:12:40 Turning One-Night Guests Into Long-Term Donors 00:16:04 Modern Event Upselling That Increases Revenue 00:17:41 Why Paddle Raises Matter So Much 00:24:01 Why Tech-First Events Are Outperforming Traditional Models 00:26:23 Less Staff Strain More Mission Engagement 00:28:10 A New Mindset for Nonprofit Events #TheNonprofitShow #NonprofitFundraising #EventStrategyFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

When you're in Philly for PCMA Convening Leaders, you don't just grab a cheesesteak and call it a day. You pay attention to the food culture, the people behind it, and the stories that shape the city. And I couldn't leave town without sitting down with one of the catering chefs doing exactly that. This week on Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE, I'm talking with Chef Adam DeLosso, Executive Chef and COO of 12th Street Catering—and this conversation goes far beyond what's on the plate. Adam and the team at 12th Street believe great event food is about connection just as much as cuisine. Designing menus where every guest feels welcome without extra effort isn't a "nice to have" for him—it's the standard. That mindset shows up everywhere: how his team supports guests with complex dietary needs, how they approach staff training and labeling, and how they think about sustainability and responsibility. We talk about what it really means to build safe, sustainable, and inclusive food experiences into events so seamlessly that guests simply feel cared for. Adam shares the story of creating a carbon-neutral menu before the industry was ready—and why that moment still shapes how he approaches innovation today. We also dig into 12th Street's Meals With a Mission philosophy and partnerships with Trellis for Tomorrow and Philabundance, showing how catering can nourish communities, not just attendees. If you plan events, this matters. Food is where trust, risk, inclusion, and brand values all collide—and Adam offers a real-world look at how thoughtful leadership turns those moments into WOW experiences. Because when food is done with care and creativity, it doesn't just feed people. It brings them together. What does "every guest feels welcome" look like at your events?

Are events still worth the effort?In this episode of Nonprofit Vision, Greg sits down with Justin Goodhew, CEO of Trellis, to explore how nonprofits can modernize event fundraising to unlock new revenue drivers, increase event ROI, and reduce operational strain.They discuss leveraging technology, rethinking auctions and sponsorships, and turning one-night events into long-term donor engagement strategies.If your organization hosts an event — or is rethinking one — this conversation will challenge you to make your biggest night work smarter and generate impact well beyond the ballroom.

In this episode, we explore the intersection of technology, scalability, and human connection. We begin with Peter Lancet from My Trencher, who discusses the "numbers game" university career services face. He explains how his platform provides an "operational layer" that allows small teams to support thousands of students, moving from reactive advice to strategically identifying and assisting those most at risk. The conversation then deepens with Doug Delpha, a Professor at the University of Strasbourg and AI Engineer. Doug advocates for a return to the "Aristotle and Plato" style of mentorship, arguing that while teachers must become AI-proficient, their primary role is to be a protected human figure who can handle sensitive student crises that chatbots simply cannot. Crucially, Doug also issues a wake-up call regarding digital sovereignty, challenging international institutions to build "elasticity" into their systems rather than relying blindly on American infrastructure that could be impacted by geopolitical shifts or outages. We then turn our focus to the administrative side of inclusion with Andy Bell from Trellis. A winner of the CivTech award in Scotland, Andy shares how his team is using AI to alleviate the paperwork burden in Special Educational Needs (SEND) departments. By transcribing meetings and automatically creating first drafts of child plans, Trellis is helping councils and teachers reclaim valuable time, allowing them to focus less on administration and more on the students who need them most.

We celebrate the "self-made" man, but we rarely talk about the cost. If you make yourself, you have to sustain yourself. And that is a heavy burden to carry.In this message from the "Foundations" series, Pastor Adam Burton explores Genesis 2:1-25 to uncover the root cause of our exhaustion. We discover that we are tired because we are trying to play the role of God in our own lives. Learn how the Sabbath, God's boundaries, and true community offer the rest you have been searching for.

The Power of Proper Life Trellis - Pastor Josh Reece - 1.4.26 by Vertical Church

This episode originally aired last year, but we're re-sharing it with a new intro and outro because it's become a foundational conversation for our community. If you're revisiting it, we hope it lands in a new way this season. If it's your first time listening, we're so glad you're here.In this GoodKind Podcast episode, Amy is interviewing GoodKind Co-founders and authors, Chris and Clayton, about a foundational question for Christian families: What is a spiritual habit—and why do habits shape faith more deeply than words alone? This conversation reframes spiritual formation away from pressure, perfection, and performance, and toward consistent, practiced rhythms that shape belief over time.Rather than treating faith as something we primarily teach, the team emphasizes how faith is something we practice—formed through repeated actions, shared rhythms, and everyday choices in the home. They discuss why information alone rarely leads to transformation, how habits quietly disciple both children and adults, and why spiritual growth is often slow, cumulative, and unseen in the moment.The episode also addresses common misconceptions about spiritual discipline, explaining the difference between habits and legalism, and how grace-driven practices create space for genuine formation. Drawing from Scripture, family life, and lived experience, the conversation highlights how habits function as trellises that support growth—especially in seasons when motivation is low or life feels chaotic.If you've ever wondered why your best intentions don't stick, how to nurture faith without pressure, or what actually forms belief over time, this episode offers a grounded, hope-filled framework for building spiritual habits that last.TakeawaysSpiritual habits shape faith more consistently than teaching or intention alone.Faith formation happens through repeated practices, not one-time moments.Spiritual habits are not about perfection or performance, but about faithfulness and rhythm.Grace-centered habits create space for long-term spiritual growth.Healthy spiritual habits help carry faith when motivation fades.Building habits in the home shapes both children and adults together.Chapters00:00 — What Are Spiritual Habits?03:12 — Why Teaching Alone Doesn't Form Faith06:45 — Habits vs. Legalism09:58 — Formation Happens Through Practice13:21 — The Role of Repetition and Rhythm16:40 — Habits as a Trellis for Growth20:05 — Faithfulness Over Perfection23:14 — Building Spiritual Habits in the Home26:30 — Long-Term Formation and GraceBuy Building Spiritual Habits in the Home on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/Building-Spiritual-Habits-Home-Small/dp/0802434304/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1Z8YOBA8SBNM6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qu59ZbacDPX9GZL4rJK2Jtt4lZDB6c0lLMCKQAncVmkf-Cr5ysok9kF0VH3WhHkdsjASUe0SbXXIvZeI5zDWl1mbJJ_68Utl1jwya2wGA0w.8bhF9konQ3ZJ3HqYYfP5omh6Y7QaJEvhK3nVqvV0x54&dib_tag=se&keywords=building+spiritual+habits+in+the+home&qid=1733772078&sprefix=building+spiritual+%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-1 spiritual habits, Christian family habits, faith formation, spiritual disciplines, Christian parenting, building spiritual habits in the home, faith practices, discipleship at home, Christian rhythms, spiritual growth, forming faith in kids, Christian family life

Originally shared in one of our earliest episodes, this conversation from John 15 is still just as timely. Jesus uses the illustration of the vine and its branches to reveal the life-giving practice of abiding in Him. In this episode, The Sharing Grace team revisits what it means to remain connected to Christ, bear lasting fruit, and trust God through seasons of pruning and growth.

Weekly Messages from Courageous Church in Salt Lake City, Utah

Work can be a place of dread, or a place of anticipation. What if the Holy Spirit allowed us to see our vocation in a whole new light?

In this episode, Fritz sits down with Callil Capuozzo, the founder and owner of Overhead Vineyards in coastal Rhode Island. Callil shares his unique journey from industrial designer to vineyard owner and walks through the challenges of starting a vineyard on existing farmland. The conversation explores the critical early decisions in vineyard development — from soil sampling and drainage considerations to choosing trellis systems that suit humid, fog-prone climates. Callil's experiment with a pergola-style trellis, inspired by traditional Albarino vineyards in Rías Baixas, Spain, sparks a deeper discussion on airflow, spray coverage, disease pressure, and long-term scalability. Fritz offers practical guidance on establishing vineyard infrastructure, exploring options like high cordon or Watson systems, managing pests such as Japanese beetles and downy mildew, and the importance of fencing for deer and bird pressure. The episode also dives into variety selection, weighing the benefits of hybrids like Traminette, Baco Noir, and Itasca against the disease challenges of vinifera varieties. Listeners will learn how to match site-specific factors with smart vineyard design decisions and how to plan gradual expansion while keeping labor and management sustainable. It's an inspiring and technical roadmap for anyone looking to scale from first planting to a working vineyard. In this episode, you will hear: Site evaluation is essential — good drainage and slope can make or break vineyard success Trellis systems should balance airflow, sun exposure, and ease of labor Pergola trellises offer unique benefits, but can become challenging at scale Hybrids are smart choices for humid regions with high disease pressure Start small, expand gradually, and adapt systems as you learn Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

The Trellis of Fasting: A Hunger for Justice

Preaching: Mike RothPearl Church exists to cultivate three rhythms—Sacred Story, Common Table, and Divine Love. In fact, these rhythms work together. We often say, “At Pearl, we express a Sacred Story and extend a Common Table that animate life by Divine Love.” But how exactly do we cultivate these rhythms? And is it possible to cultivate these rhythms outside of Pearl? This sermon series will explore the metaphor of a trellis to help us thoughtfully discern the sacredness of our stories, commonality of our tables, and animations of our lives as we seek to cultivate robust living marked by flourishing.Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love.
