Beyond the Gala: Make Your Fundraising Events Pay Off

Build a fundraising plan that generates real revenue-without the stress, guesswork, or burnout-even if you’re new or ready for change
This hands-on workshop is designed for small nonprofit teams who want a simpler, more effective way to plan fundraising events that actually work.

A fundraising plan designed to generate real revenue
A repeatable framework you can use again and again
A practical toolkit to simplify planning and execution

Lunch at Chez Zee is included with your ticket.

Optional time to stay after for networking and connection.

Most fundraising events focus on attendance and experience-but not enough on what actually matters: how much you keep.


THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU IF:

-You’ve planned a fundraising event that looked successful-but didn’t deliver the results you expected
-You’ve felt a disconnect between the effort, cost, and impact of traditional fundraising events
-You’re putting in significant time and energy and wondering if it’s actually paying off
-You’re working with a small team and need a simpler, more effective approach
-You’re new to fundraising and want to build a plan that works from the start
