How do does an organization effectively blend commerce and fundraising in a way that brings the community together?
In today’s episode, I talk with The Family Place CEO Tiffany Tate and Margette Hepfner to talk about one of the organization's signature fundraising events: Partners Card.
For many years, many top retailers in North Texas have taken part in this unique and highly effective fundraiser. The premise is simple: patrons purchase a card from The Family Place and are able to get a discount at hundreds of retailers in the Dallas area. It raises money for a great cause and allows people to save on restrauant, apparel, and other retail outlets.
Tiffany and Margette share their knowledge and expertise on a variety of topics including tips on hosting successful kickoff events that create buzz, how to approach retailers, developing a strong relationship between an event chair and a nonprofit, and so much more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.
