Every fundraising event starts by determining a fundraising goal. This is the purpose behind the event and the driving force that generates all activities surrounding the fundraising event. Although it might seem obvious, there are many who interpret a fundraising event as a general effort to raise funds for the overall functioning of the organization. Although this can be a goal, it is more critical to identify a concrete goal.
Major Gifts
Major gifts are a large component in your budgeting and fundraising strategy. Major gifts mean different things to different people, but there is a common understanding that without major gifts and donors, most nonprofits would be struggling more significantly and they may not maintain financial sustainability.
