Event Planning

To gala or

not to gala......

that is the question.

Sometimes, it's not a question.  Maybe you have held a gala for years, have plenty of wealthy supporters who make this night the night of the social season (and giving season). 

​

The essential question when it comes to event planning is:  Is it worth it?

​

Does the event make your organization enough money (and are you including all when deciding)?  If your program manager is spending 15% of his/her time on the event you need to include that cost - and worry about the cost to your programs.

​

Do your events educate your donors about your organization's recent accomplishments and plans for the future?  

 

Is there a testimonial (moving videos are great) that reconnects your donors to the work you are doing?

This is a great example of a video that educates and moves people about the organization's, Imagine, A Center for Coping with Loss, work.
