Event Concept & Plan

Project details

What we need
  • 3-5 one hour calls with an events professional covering topics like concept, general structure, logistics, and target attendees
  • A written summary of topics discussed, including event concept and theme, general plan, estimated budget (optional), and articulated goals (feel free to use this template as a starting point)
  • Note: This project does not include on-site event coordination or support on the day of the event
Additional details

We are hosting a convening event for organizations and would like to discuss goals, planning, implementation, and follow-up to ensure we make the most out of the event and that it benefits participating organizations. A volunteer with experience in community engagement, strategic planning, and convening events would be ideal.

What we have in place
  • We currently have organizations list of organizations to invite, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a venue, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $3,002 , allowing us to achieve our goals for the event, and set us up for significant collaborative projects that will make a big impact in our region.

This project is important because it is the initial stage of a larger project. If successful, this event will bring together organizations working within our region and set us up to work together to make an impact. It embodies our mission to lead, serve, and collaborate to mobilize enduring philanthropy for a better Arizona.
