When's the best time to schedule a fundraising event for your organization?  One thing to consider is the competition; specifically, are there any other big events already scheduled for the same day and time. 

 

Our "Calendar of Fundraising Events For Nonprofit Organizations" is updated monthly, to give you a lay of the land, so to speak, about what's going on with our nonprofit partners.  The purpose here is to help every organization optimize its fundraising efforts.

 

Also, approaching the media about (a) sponsorship of your event and (b) coverage of your event can be a tricky, sometimes daunting task.  It doesn't have to be.  The Stuller Family Foundation has interviewed marketing specialists at area media outlets, and offers some solid tips in our "Dealing With The Media" series of white papers.
