Run A Virtual Silent Auction Event
Coronavirus (COVID-19) has put many non-profits into a position of pushing their spring auction to the fall, cancelling it or being creative and running their gala completely online (often called a virtual event). This article is meant to walk through the creative option of running a virtual event online with mobile bidding software and streaming […]
How do we raise money (and thrive) amid Coronavirus?
We are in for what seems like a long haul over the next season of fundraising. According the CDC, COVID-19 is here and will likely be community wide over the next few years. But, before boarding up the doors on our homes, the CDC also says that there are measures we can take to protect […]
Planning Accordingly During an Unsure Spring Season
I’m trying to avoid the hysteria.

I Run, But I’m Not a Runner.
