Event Information

** This Cost-Based Cohort is being offered by Mission Accelerate **

OVERVIEW

Organizations lose around half their donor base each year. For your nonprofit to survive, you must be regularly inviting new people to the cause. Hosting an inspiring large-scale event can help your organization reach a wider audience where you can cultivate engagement with new people. Over the past two decades, Mission Increase’s model for large-scale events has helped thousands of leaders to invite new people, in addition to raise more money, grow existing champions, and build community through inspiring fundraising dinners.

This coaching cohort (group learning cohort) builds off the workshop and is packed with hands-on practice that will help you understand why you should hold a large-scale event and how to create a plan and use the principles for large-scale events. Gather to learn alongside other leaders in this cohort to:

• Put together a Large-Scale Event Team
• Brainstorm your guest list
• Secure Table Sponsors
• Recruit Table Hosts
• Design a great program.
• Construct a follow-up plan

This cohort is for executive directors, development staff, board members and anyone involved in fundraising for your organization. Register today!
