Trevor Nelson & Jason Ledlow, HGA Co-FoundersMay 14, 2026
10 Reasons Your Fundraising Event Isn't Raising What It Should
Your fundraising event takes months to plan, a team of volunteers to pull off, and one night to execute. So why does it keep raising less than it should? In this episode of Hey Nonprofits! LIVE, Trevor and Jason walk through 10 of the most common — and most fixable — reasons fundraising events underperform. From sponsorship strategy to donor retention to what’s happening on stage during your live auction, this is the honest conversation most organizations never have until after the event is over. Come ready to take notes.
