So have you ever created a revenue stream that didn't work out? What did you do? Did you abandon it? Crawl in a hole? Well, you're not alone.  I'm going to tell you a story about how I royally screwed up Fund A Need. Listen,  I can totally relate to trying something and failing!

Before I get into the story, I want to make sure you've picked up my FREE mini checklist on how to create a pipeline of new donors for your next big fundraiser.  If you haven't already grabbed it, the link will be in this post!

Ok, so back to how I messed up!  I created an event that was aimed at raising money for the second half of the fiscal year. One of the fundraising activities I did was Fund A Need.   Well, it didn't turn out so good.  Tune in to learn why!

One last thing!

Getting started with fundraising events can raise a lot of questions from your board, your Executive Director, staff, and your supporters.  What is the time commitment?  Is hosting a fundraising event right for the organization? Will the ROI be worth it? What if we don't make any money? What if no one comes.  Should we do a silent or live auction? 

In this episode, I'm going to talk about three types of events that can help you decide which one is best for your organization and will help you reach your annual fundraising goal!
