Support KC and Shipley Communications, LLC’s Mission Ready Monday March workshop will focus on Event Planning 101 from 4-5 p.m. The hands-on workshop will focus on providing tips for creating, managing and tailoring a successful event to nonprofits’ audience.
For nonprofits, fundraising events require a lot of hard work, a bulwark of supporters, planning and financial support. But before nonprofits get started on planning an event, it is important to ask certain questions, such as the purpose of the event; the goal for holding the event; is the event really necessary; and is it the best solution to reach goals?
This workshop on event planning will focus on how to make event planning a success and achieve measurable and specific goals that align with nonprofits’ mission. The hands-on course will help nonprofits identify their organizational short-term and long-term goals and get them thinking on what is important and whether holding an event is the best approach to achieving those goals. Once this question is answered, there are steps to be followed to make holding an event a success.
Successful event planning will help a nonprofit evaluate its goals and create events for their key audience in the community. A well-planned, donor and mission focused event is a win-win for both nonprofits and the community they serve.
“Fund development and communications are critical to nonprofit success, says Debra Box, executive director at Support KC. “Through our partnership with Shipley Communications, we are excited to offer this opportunity for our clients to do a 'deeper dive' into their fund development and communications practices and learn new techniques to support them in these efforts,” adds Box.
