The "theme" of a fundraising event is the concept that brings all of the different pieces together. A good theme helps an event stand out to the intended audience.
A great fundraising event is a complete experience from start to finish. Engage your audience with your mission from the moment they enter the building.
Planning how to ask for contributions (and how much to ask for) is nobody's favorite part of a fundraising event, but it's essential to put effort into this element. Whether we want to admit it or not, a fundraiser is ultimately about raising funds to support your work.
An outstanding master of ceremonies (MC) can energize an event, keeping an audience engaged and entertained and connecting all of the different event components to your core mission.
