Talk Details
Lets be honest – its been difficult to be an events fundraiser the past few years! From covid to cancellations its been a bumpy road. Often we can feel siloed in events and isolated from the rest of the charity. In my session, I aim to show how your community efforts can add huge value to your events team and vice versa, with a virtuous circle growing income across the board.
Key learnings from this session:
- How to combine the Community & Events portfolios for mutual benefit
- How to steward relationships through the appropriate fundraiser within your charity without territorial fights
- How to feel positive about your events portfolio again!
