We're excited to share a new segment with you today. The Plywood Podcast Presents: Pro Tips! Too much alliteration, We'll work on it?  Every so often, our team will dive into the community's most Frequently Asked Questions.

Today, we are getting into How to Plan a Successful Fundraiser. If you don't lead a nonprofit, we still think this episode is for you. As a board member or supporter of a nonprofit, we are letting you into the head of a nonprofit leader, sharing real fears and the struggles of what it takes to put on an event.

Jeff and Kayla have worked on 10+ fundraisers together over the past six years. In this conversation, they talk about the things Plywood has learned when it comes to planning an event and raising money. You'll hear mistakes we've made and important learnings on your next steps. Throwing a fundraiser can be complicated and scary, so we hope this conversation will encourage you, your team, and your board. Your work is important, and we want to help you find ways to share that vision with more people. In this episode, we talk through these seven questions:
What's the purpose of the event?
Why is it important to host events?
Who, when, and how do we invite?
How will we share our story?
How do we budget for a fundraiser?
How do we raise the money?
Once the event is over, what's next?

Let us know what you think. Share this episode with your team. Let it give shared language, spark conversation, and inspire your work forward!
