1. What is EVENT$?
EVENT$, Ideas and Resources for Fundraising Events, is a print newsletter that
will help you achieve the most success and profit possible from your fundraising
events. The publication is published every other month (six times a year) in
16 advertising-free pages. It is hole-punched so that it may be easily archived
in a standard three-ring binder. Each issue contains six two-page reports on
successful fundraising events. The reports include how the event was organized,
how volunteers were utilized, how sponsors were involved, how the event was
marketed, and even what organizers would do differently next time. The events
are designed to show creative solutions to fundraising issues. In addition to
these twelve pages of reports, the newsletter includes brief how-to articles
on marketing, finances, sponsorship, volunteer management, review, ideas and
resources. Frequently, ready-to-use forms are included with permission to reprint
for subscribers.
2. How much does a subscription cost?
A subscription to EVENT$ is $45 for 6 issues
or $75 for 12 issues if payment or purchase order number is included with an
order. If billing is requested, the annual cost is $49.
