Brad Carlson & Associates, Ltd.

Special Events Planning

Brad Carlson’s work as a professional fundraiser began in 1988 in special events, direct mail, and telemarketing. There is so much to consider in putting on a special event.

What will its objectives be? Fund raising? Donor involvement? Friend raising? Public-awareness building? What types of activities would appeal to your target audience? Who will work to put on the event? What is your expense budget? What is your revenue budget? Is the timing right? These questions are just the beginning.

Details, details, details! There are so many details that one does not normally think about. Yet missing one of them could create a big problem.

Brad Carlson & Associates, Ltd. will provide the coaching, oversight, and instruction needed to help your organization and its volunteers put on a successful special event. Whether it is an annual gala, golf outing, fashion show, or something unique having a special appeal to your supporters, Brad Carlson can work with those who will implement your event to make it successful. At the same time, with the instruction provided, your organization can be better prepared to put on another event so that further coaching may not be needed.
