Non-profit organizations and charities have paid very dearly during the pandemic. Few organizations can claim that they were able to meet their fundraising goals in 2020. Glimmers of hope, however faint, are now on the horizon. As vaccination efforts take hold, we will be able to look forward to a more promising future when it comes to fundraising events.
While grand in-person galas might still be a few months away, some charity fundraising events can now be safely planned as a stopgap measure to help the organization with its immediate financial needs. Golf tournaments, virtual and hybrid fundraising events can be held with complete adherence to the CDC guidelines to help the organization raise the badly-needed funds while preparing for the traditional galas in the fall and beyond.
At Your Great Event (YGE), we are proud to have helped our loyal clients to plan successful fundraisers even during these challenging times. From virtual events to hybrid digital affairs to golf tournaments, we have been able to help our clients navigate the stormy waters of fundraising during a pandemic.
When done right, a golf tournament and/or virtual gala can be vital tools in a non-profit’s struggles to prevail over the devastating effects of this pandemic on its financial viability. Spring 2021 can be a prized opportunity to hold a stopgap fundraising golf tournament and/or virtual event while gearing up for a grand affair in the fall or winter 2021.
While we all eagerly wait for the clouds of Covid-19 to clear, it is incumbent on astute organizations to seize all available branding opportunities to both raise/reinforce awareness of their cause and to view these interim events as warmup for return to more traditional fundraising events and galas.
Let the professionals at Your Great Event help you take advantage of all possible fundraising opportunities during these challenging times.
