Event Concept & Plan

Project details

What we need
  • 3-5 one hour calls with an events professional covering topics like concept, general structure, logistics, and target attendees
  • A written summary of topics discussed, including event concept and theme, general plan, estimated budget (optional), and articulated goals (feel free to use this template as a starting point)
  • Note: This project does not include on-site event coordination or support on the day of the event
What we have in place
  • We currently have an event planning committee, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have clear goals for potential annual event, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to serve more foster children in need.

Our agency just celebrated 20 years of service and want to develop a fundraising event that could be an annual occurrence.
