Pre-Event Consultation

I will meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be.

Use My Experience to Your Advantage

Whether it is your first fundraising event or your twentieth, there are always opportunities to grow. Planning a fundraising benefit or auction event can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to get barely into organizing before you feel like you’re juggling more than an octopus could handle. Sound familiar? Maybe not the octopus part, but the rest?

Fortunately, I can help take the stress of planning a fundraising auction off your shoulders. I am more than a fundraising auctioneer, I’m also a resource. With years of fundraising event experience, I genuinely enjoy consulting with my clients to help you succeed.

Partners in Fundraising

When you partner with me on your event, I will empower you to plan a fundraising event like never before. Through a series of pre-event video or phone calls, I will guide you through every step to not only host a successful fundraising auction or other charity benefit, but to establish it as the place to be year after year. If you’re already established, I can help you stay on top of trends in fundraising, keeping your event fresh and full of new ideas for continued growth.

As part of your package, you will receive pre-event consultation time with me to go over your special appeal/Fund-a-Need, and create a smooth and successful timeline/Run of Show for your event to keep the energy and donations flowing.

From Planning to Execution

After our pre-event consultation, you will be set up for success with an event that is focused on the most important elements of fundraising - desirable auction items, an effective Fund-A-Need, and a smooth Run of Show. When we arrive at your event, we are truly partners, and I’m a part of your fundraising team. The careful communication of details leading up to the event will ensure a smooth, seamless, and successful event for both you and your donors.

I can provide award-winning fundraising auctioneers and assistants to entertain your guests for the entire charity benefit. This is where we could say something like we put the FUN in fundraising, but I’ll refrain because that might be cheesy. Instead, we’ll just promise to charm and entertain your guests, using our strategic skills to set the mood for the most generous donations.
