The past few months have created an opportunity for nonprofits to reimagine the ways that they create experiences for their donors. While we begin to think about our Plan A and Plan B for fall events, there should absolutely be a Plan V as well – virtual.

Come join fundraising management leader Neon One in a strategic webinar on how to plan for creating a fantastic virtual experience for your guests. We’ll cover how these experiences can either become supplemental to any in-person events you’ll begin having again or become a fast tracked alternative to cancelling an in-person event.
