Since 2013, I’ve participated in Cycle for Survival, the movement to beat rare cancers. Having lost my father to esophageal cancer at the age of 55 just six months after his diagnosis, I’ve been devoted to this cause as a way to honor his life and ensure more families don’t……
Happy birthday, mighty Event 360! As we approach our 18th birthday on November 27th, we’re excited to take a moment and reflect on this special place that so many have called “home” since its founding in 2002. Not many small businesses reach the “old enough to vote” milestone, and our……
The current state of the world has turned so many aspects of events on their head. We’ve all been challenged. We’ve been forced to cancel or postpone or virtualize (that’s a word now, right?) events. We’ve had to pivot and figure out how to safely do the work we all……
By Molly Fast It’s no secret that fundraising in light of COVID-19 is significantly challenging. We’ve all seen the devastation this pandemic has caused to the event fundraising space. During the early months – March and April – no one really knew how long we were going to be in……

By Heather Snyder There are as many different attitudes and approaches to fundraising as there are individual fundraisers. Some take a methodical approach, others make an emotional appeal, and still others fundraise with a sense of fun and humor. The Coconutter Strutters, a Susan G. Komen Michigan 3-Day team, is……
By Suzanne Mooney I first saw J.D. at the opening ceremony of Challenge Walk MS: Savannah. Slade Thompson and I had flown to Georgia to observe the three-day, 50-mile walk as part of an event audit we are doing for the National Multiple Sclerosis… Read More
By Courtney Jones and Casey S. Campbell Giving Tuesday was November 28, and if you recall hopping onto social media, even for a second, you most likely saw a friend or two post about a cause important to them. Facebook―with its more than two-billion users―has totally revamped the peer-to-peer fundraising……
By Lauren Pike Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? It states that 80% of your fundraising will come from 20% of your fundraisers. It sounds far-fetched but we’ve found this principle to be true regardless of the type of event or its size. With such a small…
We partner with the National MS Society to produce MuckFest MS the fun mud & obstacle 5K that requires no special training, just a sense of humor. Our partnership extends to working with the local MS Society Chapter that benefits from the funds raised by participants. The Greater New England Chapter……
There’s lots of change around me. Some I’m engineering and some I’m watching from the sidelines. Partly due to the weather (yes, even in Santa Monica, the weather changes!) and partly due to the time of year, I’m finding solace in reconnecting to the reason why I do this work……
Last April, my niece Julia participated in Jump Rope for Heart for the American Heart Association. I proudly wrote about how I helped her raise money for heart disease and become the top fundraiser in her 1st grade classroom. She raised $615 and earned an invitation to… Read…
Chuck Longfield’s presentation at last week’s DMA’s 2013 Washington Nonprofit Conference highlights a number of disturbing trends in direct response fundraising, including increases in acquisition costs, the decline of first year retention rates, and lower loyalty among younger donors. We’ve posted the slides below, which… Read More
On the time well spent front, I took the opportunity last month to attend the Association of Fundraising Professionals 16th Annual Midwest Conference on Philanthropy in Chicago. (Event 360 is an Executive Circle member of the AFP). The event focused on “The Business of Fundraising Vision, Accountability &…
I work with a wide range of nonprofit clients. The groups range in size from annual revenues of few hundred thousand dollars to nearly a billion or more; the causes span from health to the environment to social change; the personnel varies from first-year volunteers to professionals who are true……
Recently, I wanted to check a few fluids under the hood of my Jeep before I hit the road for a long trip. The manual would have given me sufficient instructions to do so, but instead I went online and found several videos that showed me how to do it.
How do you court your donors? Successful fundraising is a lot like a first date. You want to make sure you make a great first impression to every potential supporter you meet, and when you find people who are intrigued by your organization and want to learn more, you want……
On Friday I discussed how the internet has changed the landscape of giving, and today I’ll follow up with a look at two organizations who successfully adapted to these changes. Social networking offers fantastic opportunities for non-profits to expand their reach amongst virtual groups of interconnected friends, family…
