“Hangin’ with Henry” and talking about event fundraising

It is the first Thursday of the month, which can only mean one thing at DonorDreams blog. We’re “Hangin’ With Henry” today and talking about return on investment and special event fundraisers. When do special events make sense? When don’t they make sense?

• What role(s) do special events play in your organization’s comprehensive resource development program?
• How do you monitor the effectiveness and ROI of your special events? Is there a tool you use? Are there specific metrics your track carefully?
• What strategies do you use to bridge special event donors to other campaigns and efforts in your organization?
• Have you ever had to eliminate an event from your annual fundraising plan? What was that experience like? How did you prepare and transition donors?
