fun in fundraising
No one likes to attend a drab event, so let us help you put the fun back in fundraising! Everyone knows that healthy non-profits need reliable and sustainable fundraising. We help you create a memorable, lasting moment for your guests while allowing you to stand out and make an impact, not only financially but soulfully.
Viewing your event through the lens of a development director, our experience allows us to leverage donor engagement and support, reduce costs whenever possible and recognize unique opportunities to fundraise for your organization. Whether it is a Party with a Purpose Gala, a memorable day on the links or anything in between, we can manage your entire fundraising event from beginning to end. Let simple pleasures events do the heavy lifting to free you up to bring in the money and to wow your guests with your work. We can handle budgeting, venue selection, procurement, logistics and all the details that ensure your fundraising event is executed seamlessly and successfully.
Simple pleasures events works with organizations of all sizes, from the small ones where you (yes, you) are doing everything and then some, to groups with robust budgets.
