Synopsis

Written specifically for nonprofit organizations of all shapes and sizes, this handbook provides an outline on event-planning within the larger framework of achieving organizational goals. It introduces strategies that are the building blocks for a successful special event (or any fund raising program), including raising money, marketing and public relations, building and expanding the nonprofit donor base, building and motivating the volunteer pool, training and motivating your board to solicit funds, educating the public about your organization and its mission, and getting an endorsement from a prominent community leader. The Master Event Timetable, which can be abridged or modified as required, leads an organization step-by-step through the process. It includes real-life insights, planning tips, common misconceptions, pitfalls to avoid, warning flags and other pointers; it follows a case study throughout the entire workbook to show how to plan and execute a special event; and it includes sample worksheets, checklists, and tables - in print and on an IBM-compatible disk.

Quatrième de couverture

A practical and accessible guide to organizing and producing special events "Special Events: Proven Strategies for Nonprofit Fund Raising is a clear guide for staff and volunteers planning and staging special events. But its most significant contribution may be Alan Wendroff’s discussion of the role that special events play in the organizations’s total development program and the various contributions special events make to a nonprofit organization in addition to fund raising." Eugene R. Temple, Executive Director Indiana University Center on Philanthropy "Many organizations have learned the art of successful special events from Alan through his classes now many more organizations can get the full training through this comprehensive and practical book. Alan shows us that special events are no mystery. They succeed with consistent planning, follow–through, and lots of heart. This book puts us on the path to making an event achievable, creative, and memorable." Jan Masaoka, Executive Director Support Center for Nonprofit Management "Special Events is a practical, step–by–step guide that takes the mystery and risk out of event–based fund raising. For the novice or seasoned professional alike, this ready reference is sure to become a trusted companion, chock–full of scribbled margin notes and folded page corners. Alan Wendroff’s wit and wisdom make for engaging reading, revealing the many financial and organizational rewards that accrue from well–planned special events." Richard S. Hirschhaut, Director Greater Chicago/Upper Midwest Region, Anti–Defamation League "Charitable events can be very, very good, as they can be horrid.
