SUMMARY:Elevate: A Conference for Fundraising Events
DESCRIPTION:Greater Giving is excited to sponsor this conference! Join us in August.\nElevate 2020 is going virtual! COVID-19 has made it necessary to reimagine what event fundraising looks like\, so we’ve planned a full day of digital content to answer your questions and give you the tools you need to effectively move forward. Our goal is to address what to do about fall 2020 and spring 2021 fundraising events. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in a virtual fundraising event to experience the format for themselves. \nConference content will be offered via the Whova virtual event app where there will be a library of recorded content and a schedule of interactive panels\, discussions and demo events to participate in on August 12. We are offering a single registration price for everyone on your team so that you can #keepfundraising. \nAdditionally\, we anticipate that fundraising events in 2021 will be a hybrid of both small\, in-person gatherings and digital virtual content. So\, we’re excited to offer a discounted package rate to participate in Elevate 2020 virtually and Elevate 2021 either in-person or virtually\, as we will be offering a hybrid Elevate conference in 2021 on June 14-15 in Portland\, OR and online.

SUMMARY:All Things Gala | Kansas City
DESCRIPTION:Fundraising Strategies in Action\nRaising Paddles offers a unique approach to providing educational sessions on fundraising strategies for your next gala or golf outing. This event is run just like a gala\, starting with a cocktail hour with morning mimosas\, a silent auction and entertainment\, a delicious sit-down lunch. Then a mock fundraising program will exhibit the best practices in motion to replicate at YOUR next event. Along the way we will provide valuable sessions on topics such as donor development strategies\, making the ask\, and enhancing the guest experience. We will demonstrate a live auction and a paddle raise. Other innovative revenue enhancing fundraising strategies will help keep your event fresh each and every year. \nThe silent and live auction\, along with raffles will be stocked with valuable prizes. You can win by using “play money” we hand out to you to make it fun and engaging. Many attendees will take prizes as valuable as $5\,000 home to use at their next gala! Please see a list of our sponsors in a separate section\, who will provide these prizes for you to win! \nCome Join Us! A fun day of learning\, a chance to win some amazing prizes\, and a chance to network with other similar organizations as you strive to maximize fundraising at your next event! \nPlease check out the Agenda Page for more details on the schedule for the day. \nEvent Details\nKansas City \nThursday\, November 10\, 2022 \n8:00 am – 3:30 am \nFiorella’s Event Center \n9000 W 137th St \nOverland Park\, KS 66221 \nAbout Raising Paddles\nRaising Paddles was an inspiration derived from the loss of a loved one who was mission focused and love to help others in their time of need.
