GALA GREATNESS WORKSHOP: FUNDRAISING SUCCESS AT ANY SIZE
Are your nonprofit galas struggling to deliver the fundraising results you need?
With federal grants shrinking, the pressure to create profitable fundraising
events has never been greater. Yet for small teams juggling multiple
responsibilities, planning a successful gala often feels like an impossible
mountain to climb. What if you could transform your next fundraising event
from a stressful burden into your most profitable event yet — regardless of your
team size or previous experience?
Program Description
Gala Greatness: Fundraising Success at Any Size gives
you a proven, donor-centric roadmap for success.
Whether it's your first gala or you've struggled in the
past, you'll master the strategies, frameworks, and
tactics to maximize fundraising—while feeling
confident in your plan.
Unlike generic advice that tells you WHAT to do, this
comprehensive workshop cuts through the complexity
of gala planning to show you exactly HOW to execute
a profitable gala. You'll learn powerful frameworks that
establish clear financial targets, secure board buy-in,
and identify the highest-impact fundraising streams.
We focus on the six key areas that deliver the biggest
ROI and drive the most donor impact on event night.
From crafting your Ideal Donor profile to creating a
moving program that inspires giving to understanding
all the best practices for fundraising streams, you'll
leave with a clear roadmap to transform your next
fundraising event into your most profitable yet.

Working with Dani was a gift to our
organization We not only met our
fundraising goals, but, with Dani's advice in
mind, we were able to craft an event with
effective messaging, enjoyable atmosphere,
and a sense of community. We highly
recommend Dani to organizations that are
putting together their first fundraiser, or
organizations that are looking to improve on
their past fundraising efforts. Her expertise,
tenacity and follow through are all incredibly
helpful when you are in the middle of
planning a potentially very stressful event.
