Can we host a stewardship event without a fundraising ask?
Yes. These events are explicitly intended to thank and recognize donors without soliciting a gift.
How far in advance should we start planning?
The sooner the better. At least 6-9 months in advance for large events and 4 months for smaller gatherings.
Who should be invited?
Work with DPAE to pull accurate donor lists based on giving history, fund designation or campaign involvement.
During his time as an Aggarwal-Blackburn Visiting Scholar, Halis Sakiz collaborated with Dr. Marty Jencius, Associate Professor in Counselor Education and Supervision.
Can we partner with DPAE to host an alumni event without a fundraising component?
Yes, if the event does not have a paid ticket. If there is a cost to attend, all alumni events must charge an additional minimum of $5 per person toward a designated scholarship fund to utilize our RSVP platforms and resources.
