Special events are an important part of every development budget. Special events raise money, bring new volunteers and donors to your organization and gives your organization positive exposure.
Special events open doors to the corporate community, not only to raise money, but to identify future major gift donors, volunteers and provide visibility for your organization. We at ejIMPACT have a proven process and a proven track record that has accomplished just this for the organizations we work with.
If you are thinking about starting a special event, ask yourself these questions:
- What event should I do? Why?
- Where is the audience for this event coming from?
- Can I find a chairperson?
- How much do I want/need to raise?
- What is my budget?
- Do I have the staff to handle this event?
If you already do special events and are wondering if you should continue, ask yourself these questions:
- Is this event increasing in income each year?
- Am I retaining the participants/sponsors from previous years or having to look for new ones each year?
- Are there new components that can be added to increase participation, revenue and excitement?
- Are previous participants being secured for other areas of the organization?
- Does the event still hold excitement for the staff and volunteers?
Let the professionals at ejIMPACT teach you how to enhance your special events. We will show you the method to enlarge your events, the financial bottom-line and leadership volunteers.
Our experience and expertise in the events arena will allow us to train you in how to work more effectively with board of directors, event committees, business leaders, caterers and other professional services.
"Over five years ago we entered into what I have always viewed as a partnership with ejIMPACT, where we had a shared vision of what our agency could become. It should be noted that we vould not be where we are today without the efforts of Joan and Ellen."
