This week host Kristin Steele interviews The Fundraising Elevator’s very own Sam Swaim all about fundraising events. Sam frames up what events look like now. She explores how donor engagement has shifted post-pandemic and what you can do about it to maximize support for your mission. She delivers the bitter truth that events are not the easiest way to raise money, but they also present an amazing opportunity to bring supporters into community with the organizations they’re passionate about and other donors who are too.
