FAQ

  • The Fundraising and Strategy Package includes all associated travel fees in accordance with current IRS travel allowance guidelines.

  • Support staff (bid spotters, clerks) can be arranged for an additional fee at the request of the client. If the client chooses to provide their own support staff, Shanan will provide light training prior to the live event so your team knows executes with confidence and ease.

  • The Fundraising and Strategy Package is priced with non-profit budget constraints in mind. The baseline package is competitive and generous, offering an ample planning framework as well as plenty of ongoing support. The client may choose to add additional services for an extra fee, but these are not necessary and the Fundraising and Strategy Package includes everything needed for a successful, smooth event.

  • The consultation process is customized for good reason. Simply come to your first session with your current event plans, all questions and concerns, as well as trouble spots, goals and desired outcomes, and any other needs that may arise during the planning process. Shanan can provide guidance on a range of topics including content development, event marketing and social media guidelines, vendor resources, fundraising strategy, concept building and more. If she can’t answer your question directly, she definitely knows another expert who can and she’s happy to make that connection.
