Karen Zinn • June 7, 2020
Highlighting the Benefits and Potential to Reach your Fundraising Goals with an Audience-Free Event.
As we all navigate through how Covid-19 restrictions have impacted the Live Event industry; Virtual Events are quickly becoming a viable option to help you still meet your annual fundraising goals.
Below is a List of Benefits MTAV has
put together for you:
a) Engage a new audience who wouldn't regularly attend your events and who can now learn about your organization and needs.
b) Viewers can watch in real-time or at their convenience with prerecorded stream links.
c) You can still reach your audience while keeping to physical distancing measures.
d) Reduced overall cost benefit without the catering and decor expense component.
e) Reduced venue cost. Preproduction requires little footprint compared to a large venue rental for live events.
f) Reduction of travel costs for remote presenters. Our team can facilitate remote presentations.
g) Live Streaming offers an excellent backup plan to a postponed event.
h) Only require 30- 45 min of content maximum - make it count!
i) Virtual Events posted to a Youtube page can continue to attract new viewers and donors long after the event ends.
j) Simultaneously stream to multiple platforms.
k) The fundraising portion of your event can start days before and continue long after the live stream.
l) Consider raising more $'s by using software platforms for live and silent auctions. They exist and are worth looking into.

Unlike a Face-to-Face Event, we recommend in order to produce a successful, engaging Virtual Gala; it should only be approximately 45-60 min long, putting a high priority on the Fund-A-Need Ask. Content Strategies: By being strategic in your messaging and content, you can take your audience on an emotional journey all while sharing information about your organization, success stories, video content, testimonials, possible entertainment and circle back to your Fundraising ask. Hire an entertaining Host, Professional Speaker or Emcee and/or Professional Auctioneer.
