Episode 4: Leaving enough time to plan your event
Are you leaving enough time to plan your event?
There are two big mistakes many nonprofits make when planning a fundraising event:
1) Not leaving enough time to plan the event. This leads to all kinds of stress, things getting rushed, teams becoming burnt out and the goals are impacted.
2) Not having a planning timeline which can lead to things falling through the cracks.
In this episode I talk about both of these mistakes and how to prevent them.
