For most nonprofits, having a Board of Directors is a given. However, many nonprofits feel that their Board takes a passive rather than active role in the organization, viewing their Board membership as an obligation rather than an exciting opportunity to contribute.

Many guests who attend charity auctions come with their hearts and pocket books open, yet leave without getting the chance to give or feel included in the fundraising process. A big reason for this is because the event isn't inclusive enough, and caters to the small percentage of guests who can afford big ticket items in the live — for everybody else the live auction is just a spectator sport. Your invaluable donors have made an investment in time and money to attend your event, so make sure to include them from start to finish! This webinar will explain how to engage your entire audience during the live event with fun and creative fundraising ideas. Watch the webinar »

At this webinar, you'll learn how Austin Habitat for Humanity repeatedly puts new spins on peer-to-peer fundraising to make each campaign fresh and appealing to supporters and donors. And we'll share peer-to-peer fundraising best practice and examples from Greater Giving clients who've planned and executed successful campaigns- some using a-thons and some using ingenious alternatives.
