Hey there, hi, and welcome back to Let’s Talk Fundraising! In this episode, we dive deep into the world of fundraising events. Before the pandemic, traditional events like galas often felt like a chore—expensive, repetitive, and sometimes even a punchline. But as the landscape has shifted, so have our opportunities to create meaningful, engaging events that align with our missions and resonate with our supporters.

Join me as we explore how to reimagine fundraising events to better connect with donors, engage communities, and build lasting relationships. We’ll discuss the evolution of donor expectations, the hidden costs of traditional events, and innovative ideas to transform your approach. Whether you’re looking to enhance donor stewardship, boost donor acquisition, or strengthen community ties, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration.

We’ll also share a heartfelt story about a hospice event that not only honored loved ones but brought an entire community together in a profound way. You can watch the video of this beautiful event here: Lantern Floating Ceremony.

If you find this episode helpful, please share it with your friends and colleagues. Let’s inspire more fundraisers to rethink their events and make a greater impact. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas, so feel free to reach out and share your success stories.
