How to Make Your Nonprofit Event Unforgettable with Lisa Wein, CSEP

Events shouldn't be a one-night success story, they should be a springboard for long-term relationships. Lisa Wein, CSEP, founder of LW Events, joins us to break down what most organizations get wrong about that mindset and when post-event strategy actually needs to start.In this episode, Lisa shares how nonprofits can use events to tell their mission instead of just hosting another fundraiser, what's changed after 20+ years working inside nonprofit events (including a trend that's disappeared and one organizations should be embracing now), and how she intentionally designs the moments a donor should feel before they leave a gala. We also get into the real time investment behind nonprofit events (500 to 1,500 hours to produce), how to think about the ROI of outsourcing versus keeping it in-house, the subtle details that signal professionalism at any event, and where a small nonprofit with a limited budget should invest first.Connect with Lisa Wein: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-wein-csep-0053558/ Learn more about LW Events: https://www.lweventscbus.com/ Need help with your marketing?
