Non Profit Networking

Fundraising Events—What Works (and What Doesn’t)

As long as fundraising is part of nonprofit life, events will continue to play a key role in building support and engaging communities. Join us for an interactive panel discussion featuring nonprofit peers from our area as we explore the do’s and don’ts of successful fundraising events.

Panelists will share practical tips, creative ideas, and real-world examples of events that have made an impact—along with honest lessons learned from efforts that didn’t go as planned. Whether you’re planning your first fundraiser or looking to refresh a longtime tradition, this session will offer valuable insights, inspiration, and takeaways you can apply right away.

Come learn what works, what to avoid, and how to make your next event more effective and sustainable.

Nonprofit volunteers and professionals: you are invited to this quarterly meetup presented by Vernon Area Public Library, GiveNKind, and The Lake County Community Foundation.

Connect with colleagues at local nonprofits to build relationships, create awareness, and benefit from each other’s experiences and insights. Each meeting includes a presentation or workshop that will help your organization run more effectively, followed by time for refreshments and informal conversations.

Space for this popular event is limited; please only register if you plan to attend. Please sign up each person from your organization who plans to attend so that we have an accurate headcount.
