Planning Your Event: Key Considerations<\/h3>\n
\n

Events are a great way to connect colleagues with the Combined Fund Drive and the causes they care about. Every event is different, but these tips can help set you up for success.<\/p>\n

Before You Begin\"Diana<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Identify the purpose of your event. Is it focused on fundraising, raising awareness, team building or a combination of all three?<\/li>\n
  2. Secure leadership support. Visible support from leaders can play a major role in your event’s success.<\/li>\n
  3. Connect with your Campaign Assistant early. They can help you plan, troubleshoot and access resources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Event Planning<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Who is your audience, and how many attendees do you expect?<\/li>\n
    2. Where and when will the event take place? Be sure to reserve your space in advance.<\/li>\n
    3. Will food or beverages be provided? If so, who will supply them?<\/li>\n
    4. What materials or promotional items will you need?<\/li>\n
    5. Would a nonprofit speaker enhance the experience?<\/li>\n
    6. If there is a cost to attend, how will participants pay?<\/li>\n
    7. Will you offer giveaways or door prizes?<\/li>\n
    8. How will you promote the event?<\/li>\n
    9. Do you have the equipment and supplies needed for a smooth experience?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
