Creating Engaging Virtual Events for Non-Profit Organizations

Blog Title Images_Virtual Non Profit Events.jpg

Despite the fact that a lot has changed this year, the show must go on for non-profit organizations. Fundraising events are part of what keeps non-profits going, and this year we’ve been working with many of them to create online fundraisers that are just as engaging and profitable as their traditional counterparts.

The Innovative Party Planners Approach

Over the years, we have gained a lot of experience working with non-profit organizations to create successful fundraising events. We’ve worked hard to bring the magic from our traditional events to a new medium. Here’s part of why we’ve had so much success in doing so thus far:

·      Emphasis on Meeting Goals - Just like your fundraising event, your non-profit event has goals that need to be met. These could include raising money, having a certain number of attendees, engaging sponsorship participation, honoring or awarding people in your organization, emphasizing your mission, showcasing your work, offering your attendees the ability to network or showcase their talents and more. IPP is your digital event strategist to make sure these goals get fulfilled.

·      Advanced Preparation – A lot of preparation needs to take place to ensure that online events run smoothly. We do the legwork to make sure the event is seamless from beginning to end. We’ll work with you to decide which parts of your presentation should be live and which should be pre-recorded. We’ll also hold rehearsals with each key presenter in order to ensure their lighting, audio and internet connectivity are all suitable for a high quality, uninterrupted presentation.

·      Engage, Engage, Engage – At Innovative Party Planners, we engage the audience before the event even takes place. We can prepare a social media campaign to grow your online attendees and build the momentum. Once the event begins, engagement ramps up even more with chats, online auctions and Q&As. After the event concludes, we can make it available online so those who missed it can still enjoy!
