1. Welcome
Creative, Responsible, and Experienced
Not-For-Profit Organizations are highly dependent on the good will of their boards, members/volunteers and their friends so
when a NFP is planning a fund raiser (frequently its largest annual money maker) it is imperative that the fund raiser be a
successful event financially and an entertaining production. Creatively conceived and professionally managed.
In this economically challenging environment NFP’s are increasingly asked to do more with less while salary and energy costs
continue to escalate.
At ADH Meetings & Events we are experts in finding creative ways to increase the bottom line of a fund raiser without
escalating expenditures, never losing sight of the ultimate goal of the fund raising effort – to be a successful event financially
and an entertaining production.
To accomplish this ADH Meetings & Events has developed a database that can track historical information that can be used
to increase attendance and income. Additionally, with our buying power and strong vendor relationships we are able to
keep costs down, increase profit and insure a delightful experience for the Not-For-Profit Organizations and their guests.
Whether planning a reception, art show, wine tasting, gala/silent auction, awards dinner, golf outing or any other type of
event, the NFP should envision itself as a FOR PROFIT business, increasing revenues annually and keeping operating costs
tightly controlled. ADH Meetings & Events is the ideal partner to assist any Not-For-Profit Organization in their efforts to
create and enjoy truly fantastic fund raising events.

5. Non-Profit Organizations
Whether planning a reception, art show, wine tasting, gala, awards dinner, golf outing or other types of events, the
goal of a non-profit organization is to raise money while keeping expenditures to a minimum.
To help increase revenue, non-profits could look at themselves as a corporation, where each year sales and profits are
expected to increase in order to satisfy the stockholders and owners. For many non-profit organizations the moneys raised
and the number of attendees are stagnant, while the cost of producing events go up at an average of 3% to compensate for
salary and benefit increases, rising product costs and fuel costs from their vendors. Revenues and attendance should also
increase.
To accomplish this, ADH Meetings & Events has developed a database that can track historical information which in turn can
be used to increase attendance and income. Furthermore, with ADH’s buying power and strong vendor relationships, we are
able to keep costs down and increase profits.
At ADH we are experts in finding creative ways to increase the bottom line without escalating expenditures and keeping in
mind the ultimate goal of the fund raising effort.
Non-profits affect many people’s lives. ADH Meetings & Events is here to make sure that every penny your organization
raises is being used and spent wisely giving your organization the ability to provide greater assistance to those that will
benefit the most.

“A Sinfonietta staff member writes, Virginia accomplished all of her assigned tasks in a most professional manner. She was
very organized and was instrumental in keeping us on a time line. With Virginia’s strong design background she was
instrumental in creating what one Sinfonietta Board member described as the ;most attractive Silent Auction ever held by the
organization. In addition, Virginia designed a unique system that allowed auction item winners to be notified and to pay
during the program that greatly decreased congestion at the end of the evening. I appreciated Virginia’s candor as well as
her willingness to compromise. One of Virginia’s greatest assets is her sense of humor that makes working with her delightful. I
commend Virginia for a splendid job.
