I help gala planners break their fundraising goals. Charity Auctioneer, Emcee, & Fundraising Strategist.
Don't Lose Money at your Charity Gala by Making These 3 Mistakes: The difference between a successful event and a disappointing one often hinges on the details. Remember, an irritated supporter is far from a generous one. Let's dive into three critical areas you need to nail to ensure your gala not only runs smoothly but also maximizes donations: 𝟭) 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗶𝗻/ 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Picture two scenarios—one where attendees breeze through check-in, greeted by well-coordinated volunteers, and another where they're stuck in a snail-paced line. Which do you think fosters generosity? Overscheduling volunteers might seem excessive until you consider the alternative: a bottleneck entry can dampen spirits before the night even begins. 𝟮) 𝗘𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 I've seen a huge line at the bar hold up an entire program. Also, it dampens the giving mood when folks have to wait a long time for a drink. 3) 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿. Muffled or inaudible announcements don't just irritate; they alienate. Whether it's understanding the cause, getting excited about a live auction, or simply following the evening's program, clear sound ensures your message resonates across the room, compelling guests to act. I don't recommend depending on your DJ or band for sound, they're experts at optimizing their music to sound good, not your voices. Hire an independent audio/visual person. These elements—efficient check-ins, sufficient bartending, and impeccable sound—are not mere details; they're the backbone of a gala that not only entertains but also achieves its fundraising goals. #charityfundraising #auctioneer #nonprofit #nonprofitevents

Creator at Salt & Oil NZ Transdermal Magnesium. Sleep more, stress less + feel better. Originally developed for NZ Rugby. Join our email community for deals, info + more. Easy online fundraising scheme.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺! We've run fundraisers for individuals before, and we're happy to do it again. We acknowledge that the more contacts you have, the more likely you are to get interest from people willing to help your cause. But every little helps when it comes to fundraising. If you can find 20 people who, on average, treat themselves to $50 worth of Salt & Oil products (that could be, for example one magnesium oil to support their own sleep, and two pouches to use as teacher gifts), you'd have total sales of $1000 and earn $200. If you can get over the line to $1001 you automatically go up to the 35% tier and will earn $350.35. The 35 cents is important! Then, if you ask the people you know directly, to ask the people THEY know to consider treating themselves to the benefits of some relaxing magnesium. Well ... you never know how much you might earn for your good cause. Helping with fundraisers is something that we're passionate about, so we are trying to free up time to organise more of them. If you'd like to run one with us (it's all done online, nice and easy) then please message us and we'll email you all the info, obligation-free.

Top Tip Tuesday 💡 EMMA Live Planning events and fundraisers can be challenging, especially when managing auction items, guest registration, and pledge moments. Here are three key tips for success this week: - Aim to have approximately 10% of your audience as auction items. For example, if you have 200 guests attending, consider having around 20 auction items available. Too many items can overwhelm guests, and not enough may cause you to fall short on your fundraising target. - Use the EMMA platform to send guest registration information incomplete emails. This will encourage guests to provide their dietary and access requirements, saving you the hassle of chasing guests and manually inputting information into spreadsheets. - Utilise EMMA's leaderboard feature to showcase a fundraising goal to the crowd. Encourage competition between tables by challenging them to reach the goal and acknowledge the table that has raised the most funds. #EventPlanning #Fundraising #SuccessTips #EventManagement #EMMA #TopTipTuesday #FundraisingTechnology

Organising a fundraising gala dinner? Here's a crucial tip... Always have MORE volunteers and payment terminals than you think you need 👫💳 When hosting a charity event, every moment counts. With a packed schedule and numerous fundraising activities planned, the last thing you want is a bottleneck at the payment stage. Here’s why: 1. **Efficiency is Key**: Guests are there to support your cause, not to wait in line. Having enough volunteers ensures smooth operations, from registration to auctions and raffles. 2. **Seamless Transactions**: Multiple payment terminals reduce wait times, allowing donors to quickly contribute and enjoy the evening. This convenience encourages more spontaneous giving. 3. **Enhanced Experience**: A well-organised event with attentive volunteers and efficient payment processes leaves a positive impression. Happy guests are more likely to donate generously and attend future events. 4. **Maximized Donations**: Every delay is a missed opportunity. Under-preparing can lead to frustrated guests and lost donations. Ensuring a swift donation process means more funds for your cause. Imagine this: A guest is ready to make a significant donation but faces a long queue at the payment terminal. The moment passes, and so does the donation. This scenario is all too common and can be avoided with proper planning. 💡 **Tip**: Conduct a volunteer training session and test all payment terminals before the event. Anticipate peak times and allocate resources accordingly. Remember, preparation is not just about logistics—it's about creating an environment where generosity can thrive. Let's make every moment count! 💪✨ #Fundraising #CharityEvent #GalaDinner #EventPlanning #NonprofitSuccess #fundraisingtips #charityball

We help charities raise more money with our fundraising platform | Over $700 million raised for non-profits in 14 countries | CEO @ Charity Extra
✖️Gala dinner with 400 guests in attendance ✔️Exclusive cruise with food and fireworks It’s time to think out of the box! The traditional gala dinner with 400 people is not so practical anymore. I find that 9/10 people won’t want to schlep out, and they rather you just send them a link instead. However, your major donors need appreciation, so not doing anything is not an option either. 💥What you need to do, is get creative! - Throw an exclusive garden party, with the most amazing celebrity. - Plan an event for your top donors in a really special place. - Try something different, that’s never been done before. This doesn’t mean you need to spend more money. It just involves a lot more creativity and brainpower. Doing something unique, for the top few, is a win-win! Your major donors feel really special and appreciated, and you get to cut down on the costs of hosting a gala dinner, which most people just feel obligated to attend. Are you with me on this one, or do you think traditional dinners are still the way to go? #charity #fundraising #event #charityextra
