Workshops
Three Different Events that Support Fundraising
Fundraising events, donor appreciation events, and cultivation events each play a distinct role in building strong donor relationships. This workshop will explore how these three types of events differ and how they are alike. Participants will examine real-world examples and discuss how to align event goals with broader development strategies. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for planning events that support fundraising.
