She walks through two common planning scenarios, sharing how to balance relationship-building with logistics, prioritize activities that drive real return, and avoid overspending without sacrificing impact. The conversation also digs into what makes an event “worth it,” from net revenue and donor retention to staff energy and burnout. A grounded, strategic listen for nonprofit teams looking to fundraise more thoughtfully.
