What are the keys getting prominent philanthropists in your community to say yes?
Today, I talk with Eric Lindh, CEO of Equest & James and Kristin Hallam, co-chairs of the organization's signature fundraising event, the Blue Ribbon Gala.
Equest provides equine therapy for individuals aged two and over to help them cope with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities. For over 40 years, the Equest Blue Ribbon Gala has been one of North Texas' top signature fundraising events, drawing a devoted following that has a core base of attendees who support it year after year while continually bringing in new, prominent donors.
In this episode, James, Kristin, and Eric discuss a wide range of topics including tips on how an organization can approach a high-profile individual in your community to say "YES" to support your event, how signature fundraising events help new executives connect with current and prospective donors, and the keys to creating a successful relationship between event chairs and a nonprofit. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
