Most nonprofits are leaving serious money on the table because they're skipping critical pre-event steps that result in fundraising success - like hiring a great auctioneer https://charityauctioneerswelove.com/

That's why we had HGA co-founder, Trevor Nelson, sit down with benefit auctioneer Keith McLane to break down the 3 pre-event pillars you should focus on in order to raise more money.

During the session, we covered:

✅ Why your pre-event prep is make-or-break

✅ How to get your board members actually engaged

✅ Psychology of urgency

✅ How to recognize donors without making it weird

✅ The power having a great auctioneer has on your fundraiser's success

✅ The biggest messaging mistakes nonprofits make

✅ Structuring monthly giving programs to attract new donors

✅ Getting sponsorships when everyone's already been asked

✅ How to recognize donors without it feeling transactional
