The way we’ve been doing fundraising events might be all wrong. 

We often focus so much on what happens at the event that we miss the bigger picture: what happens before and after matters just as much—if not more. In this episode, we explore how to use the fundraising flywheel to make your events work harder for you and leave less money (and momentum) on the table.

We get into:

  • Why your event shouldn’t be a one-night stand (for your fundraising strategy).
  • How to think about your event as a living, breathing version of your mission.
  • A practical framework to make your next event more successful—from pre-event planning to post-event follow-up.
  • How to activate your donors and sponsors before the event ever happens.
  • What a great “Ask” sounds like during and after your event.

And as a bonus, you’ll also get to listen to an exclusive coaching call within The Fundraising Academy with Lauren Isbell from Nevus Outreach.
