Development and fundraising professionals are canceling fundraising events as COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to spread across the globe.
It’s an uneasy time from a nonprofit fundraising perspective, especially when so many organizations receive large portions of their annual revenues from galas and other ticketed events.
If you need to quickly create a virtual fundraising opportunity, join this one hour webinar where Quierra Trammel of Tribe Table will guide you in how to apply the principles of creating successful in-person fundraising events to creating virtual events using Zoom. This webinar is all about how you can create profitable events that give your community the feeling of togetherness, even while keeping a physical distance.
We’ll cover
- The mindset that separates profitable events from money pits
- How to identify the best type of virtual event for your community and examples of in-person events you can transition to be virtual
- What you need to attract sponsors to your virtual event
- Promoting your virtual event in a way that gets people excited to join
- Creating a guest experience that makes it easy and fun for your community to participate
- How even a small team can engage with guests in Zoom with a basic Zoom license
- Pro Zoom tips and features to help you streamline the back end of your event

"We are an all-volunteer organization with
limited professional skills. Adobe's donated
technology is helping us present our story to
the public and to lenders in the format of a
much larger organization. With Adobe, we
are able to knock off a few of the "rough
edges" so that our story is front and center
instead of our technological limitations.
Thank you, Adobe!”
