Does the idea of planning your organization's next event make you sigh? Does it do the same for your org’s attendees? Maybe your org is planning an event for the first time? Have your past efforts cost, not gained your org donations?

Planning an event is an overwhelming job for anyone, but the responsibilities and liabilities that it presents non profits are particularly challenging.

nonprofiteventsLearn how to make your event successful from a technical aspect, including how to plan a theme, to how to budget reasonably, where to spend money, how to gain RSVPs, how to manage volunteers and how handle day of event management.

Learn how to solicit donations, including how to craft “ask letters” and how to find people in organizations to solicit.

Then learn how to promote and brand the event, from social media like twitter and facebook to online, inexpensive services for printing. Use online management tools to garner more attendees, and solicit after the event donations through promotional items.

Attendees will leave the event with a great handle on how to make that next event happen! While ideal for non profits, businesses can benefit from this primer as well.

Class is at Gateway Community College in room MA1100S.
