Get that golden goosebump moment with Bobby D. Ehlert, world champion auctioneer and nonprofit events visionary, as he dishes on the future of nonprofit events (hint, it's all about the experience), event mistakes to avoid, and The Hug Squad.

Here's everything you need to know about taking events from Transactional to Transformational, straight from the pros. 

• 5 things you need for an unforgettable event
• Why is immediate gratitude so important?
• Crafting an event experience that culminates in beautiful donor relationships
• Why silent auctions are like garage sales
• Where does an event truly belong in the fundraising journey? (Hint, it's not the end)
• What is Fund-a-Need, or Paddle Raise, or Special Appeal, or whatever you call it?
• Event Tone: Extreme Gravity vs Uplifting Donor Experiences
• What-Not-To-Do in planning a transformational fundraiser

Funraise CEO Justin Wheeler and Southland Strategies President Erin Chidsey sit down to discuss how you can implement strategies that'll have your board leading the charge toward your vision. These aren't secrets; they're things you want to do but don't know how.

Learn achievable methods for engaging your board as a whole and individually, directing your board's energy, and holding them accountable for progress toward your mission. These are the goals you've always had, just tackled with an all-new outlook. By the time you're done, even board members threatening to leave your organization will be begging you to let them stay.

You already know why a recurring giving program is so important to your organization, but do you know how to get started? What are the most critical components? How do you measure your program's success?

Tyler and Justin discuss best practices for building and maintaining a recurring donor program that'll engage your donors and increase loyalty, reduce attrition, lower operation costs, and establish a more predictable revenue stream. 

Tyler plays an instrumental role in the strategy behind charity: water's monthly giving program; he'll share his most valuable secrets to inspire people to give every single month. Hear how charity: water has not only built a community of donors, but has helped influence the future of charitable giving by building a cultural legacy for generations to come.

Livestream fundraising has more in common with traditional fundraising strategies than you may know.

If you've been looking for a new-yet-familiar fundraising frontier to dip your toes into, here are a few quotes that'll pique your interest:

• “Q: What did you do to raise $1M? A: We did next to nothing.”
• “Your organization literally has zero effort to get started.”
• “Livestreaming fundraising is much more intuitive and much further reaching. It's just as simple, if not easier [than traditional fundraising].”

Discover a wealth of livestreaming knowledge from Jason Docton, CEO of Rise Above the Disorder, an organization that relies on livestreaming to fund almost all of their lifesaving efforts.

Listen in to a cliche-crushing, perspective-bending discussion of modern fundraising between Jason and Justin Wheeler, Funraise CEO and Co-founder. This conversation will stick with you, we promise. (And yes, we recognize the irony of watching a recording about livestreaming...)
