Dear Friends and Colleagues,
At Event Strategies For Success, our core mission is to elevate nonprofits and empower communities. We pursue this goal by supporting our clients. We also host impactful workshops and live events. These events equip nonprofit leaders with actionable strategies to help them achieve their goals.
October 2, 2024 marked a significant event for us. We were thrilled to host the first workshop of our Fall 2024 season. This event was for community leaders and stakeholders in Elmont, NY.
This workshop was made possible through a collaborative effort with Highlighting Success, led by Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Phillips, and was supported by the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce, represented by Rose Ward, and the Urban League of Long Island, represented by Travis Jackson, Parliamentarian, and Su Chen, Board Chair. Together, we gathered nonprofit leaders serving low-to-moderate-income communities and under-served populations for a dynamic, high-impact session.
Joining the group was Ray Schwetz from Jovia Financial Credit Union and a member of the Urban League of Long Island Board. Ray shared exciting details about the upcoming Imagine Awards of Long Island. The event is designed to spotlight the remarkable contributions of the nonprofit sector on Long Island. He highlighted how the Imagine Awards provide a valuable platform where nonprofits can connect, form new partnerships, and learn from one another. This fosters collaboration and deepens ties within the community.
A highlight of the morning was the engaging workshop led by Lynette Battle, Consulting Partner for Event Strategies For Success. Lynette guided participants through a range of essential fundraising strategies, covering topics such as:
- Expanding Access to Funding Opportunities
- Strengthening Collaboration with Other Nonprofits
- Exploring Alternative Fundraising Models
- Major Gifts & Capital Campaigns
- Annual Fund Campaigns
- Planned Giving (Wills, Trusts, Bequests)
Her dynamic presentation provided attendees with actionable insights and practical tools they could immediately implement to drive their organizations’ missions forward.
Looking ahead, Monique Brizz-Walker, Founder of Event Strategies For Success, will lead Part 2 of this workshop series later this fall, with a focus on the benefits of special event fundraising. This session will delve into ways nonprofits can increase their visibility and boost philanthropic support through thoughtfully designed events. We will share final details with you shortly.
Until then, if there is anyway we can support your fundraising agenda, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We would like to give special thanks to Mr. Aubrey Phillips, Patrick Lyfe Lines for their videography and photography services.
Here’s to your success!
Monique
