SUMMARY:Fueling Your Fundraiser - A Blueprint for Nonprofit Event Marketing
DESCRIPTION:Tired of webinars? We are too!!!\nThe philosophy behind this style of event suggests learning happens (at scale) more efficiently and effectively when we collaborate with each other\, opposed to someone talking AT us on a stage for hours. \n100% of the proceeds raised from this event will be donated to one of the organizations who register! At the end of the day we will draw one random organization to donate ticket sales to! \nEvent Date and Time:\nOctober 15th from 9am-1 pm CT \nThroughout the day\, we’ll be discussing: \n\nPre-Event\, During Event and Post-Event strategies that will help donor relationships blossom for a transactional thing to a forever thing\nThe new paradigm of events – how to create exceptional event experiences – (small e and big e events) – We have compiled tons of data on what donors really want\nHow technology will help you appeal to the next generation\nWhy storytelling through videos matters more than anything\nWhat you need to know about digital media and marketing online to the next generation to scale from a mission to a movement\nAnalog (baby boomer) generation is phasing out. Digital (gen x\, millennials\, gen z) generation is phasing in as the largest generation and the wealthiest\, most philanthropic generation in history.\n\nWhat unites all of us is that we are building relationships within our businesses and our communities to leave the planet better than we found it. The content alone will be of incredible value\, but perhaps even more valuable will be the opportunity to connect with other nonprofit executives. \nThis will be offered with both in-person and virtual streaming options.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Fueling Your Fundraiser with Utopia Entertainment
DESCRIPTION: \nFueling Your Fundraiser with Utopia Entertainment\nSPECIAL GUEST: Joey Goone\, Utopia Entertainment \nThe biggest nonprofit struggle of the past has been competing for the donor dollar. Now\, what nonprofits are actually competing for is time and heart. With limited time and money\, families have to choose where to allocate their hearts in a world where there are many worthy nonprofits. We help nonprofits bring generations together to create and share collective meaning and purpose\, driven through events and impact stories with video. Deeply connecting with people will help them realize your organization isn’t simply a nonprofit\, it’s a way of being. This all starts with transforming your events and building meaningful relationships with donors through your stories. \nUtopia is creating a space for nonprofit executives and fundraisers to gain valuable knowledge in the space of scaling your real impact. We’ll focus on pre\, during\, and post-event strategies that will strengthen your relationships with your donors.

As a part of their commitment to helping nonprofits scale\, Joey and his team launched a coaching program to learn with and from nonprofits\, uncovering the most complex challenges nonprofit executives are faced with: creating community\, scaling impact\, sharing meaningful stories\, and uniting hearts through amazing event experiences. Through Joey’s coaching program\, the real impact is scaled\, as nonprofit executives crowdsource actionable strategies from fellow nonprofit peers\, building community with each other as a result. \nJoey will continue to share his heart with the nonprofit world as he inspires nonprofit leaders to think boldly\, embrace uncertainty\, and be unapologetically different. \n
