Fundraising
A fundraising event is different from all other social and corporate events as its purpose is to either raise money or to enroll volunteers for your cause. Because the objective of a fundraising event is so unique, you need an experienced event planner who knows how to help your cause get the most out of your event.
The success of a fundraising event depends on careful and successful planning. Our fundraiser event planning services are custom built according to your organization’s needs. We deliver the highest quality décor creation and staging to ensure your cause is front-and-center and your guests are as comfortable and as inspired as possible to make your fundraising event a success.
Unique aspects Byrd Nest Events & Design will bring to your fundraising event:
Determine the purpose of your event. Whether it is just to raise funds, encourage people to volunteer, gain publicity, or a combination of these, we will help determine what the purpose of the event will be to ensure the planning starts on the right track.
Set the fundraising goal. We will help you determine what your final fundraising goal to fulfill your purpose is and plan every aspect of your event towards meeting that goal.
Set the budget. While fundraising events often held to raise money, it does cost to host the event. We’ll help set and manage the budget for your event, so you can balance expenses with funds raised or attention brought through your event.
Assist in encouraging sponsorships. A big part of fundraising events is obtaining sponsorships and donations from other businesses, people, and organizations to help minimize your out of pocket costs for your event.
Leverage our vendor relationships for your benefit. We’ll discuss your cause and negotiate fees to minimize costs on any aspect of the fundraising event that is not being supported by a donation or sponsorship.
Determine a plan to promote your event. Promoting your event will be important to the success of the event as you will need a turnout from a large group of the right target audience.
Set and adhere to event timeline. Like any event, there is often a series of activities that should follow a general timeline. We help create the timeline and keep everyone on track for a memorable time!
