Adapting to a Virtual Fundraising Landscape
The split-second switch to a fully virtual outreach, fundraising, program, and more was unexpected and challenging for all nonprofit organizations.
Virtual events quickly became an effort to make an in person event replicated in a virtual format. But is that the best option?
This presentation will provide a case study of the experiences of a regional program, sharing our journey in developing and pivoting (to use the pandemic buzzword) to a virtual/remote format with a traditional event. The program discovered how to utilize the ease of social media, the viral nature of shared posts, and the opportunities that a virtual/remote option offered that an in person event could not. Results from this event and its impact to staff and workload as well as participation and funds raised will be shared.
- Determine what opportunities your organization has to explore remote/virtual programs
- Create a plan and/or materials to support the request for support and market this style of event to partners
- • Incorporate mission moments throughout your virtual/remote event
