Most nonprofit events open exactly one path to giving: the ticket.
Jena Lynch and Britt Stockert map the fundraising moments most events miss, before doors open, during the event, after everyone goes home, and unpack how nonprofits can open more paths to giving - without extra work for their team.
What You'll Learn
Why the ticket purchase is one of the best, and most frequently ignored, fundraising opportunities of the event life-cycle
What good ticket data actually looks like (knowing who to expect before your guests even walk in)
Where the most donation opportunities quietly slip away once the event is underway
Why one unified donor record beats three spreadsheets and a manual mail merge
The one friction point Britt says to fix first, before your very next event
If you're deep into your year-end event planning, this one is for you!
