Event Management and Facilitation
Provides customized event creation, coordination, and facilitation, including management of sponsorship and donor engagement, revenue and expense management, event marketing, and committee and volunteer management.
Each staff person within an organization has a specific role. In many nonprofits, a single staff person often wears multiple hats. Hosting an event properly can be quite time consuming and draining on a team. Events fit perfectly into a financial budget, but often coincide with critical programming, grant deadlines, and prospective donor relations. The average event takes 6-8 months to plan, with 200-300 hours cumulative staff time. What could a full-time employee accomplish in this time? Perhaps they could secure new major donors, steward current donors, or reconnect with lapsed donors. They could write numerous grants or apply their time toward strategic organizational goals. Our goal is to alleviate the time, chaos, and confusion inherent in the planning and management of an event, aiming to eliminate staff burnout. We work to increase revenue and generate public awareness of the organization’s mission and work in the community.
