Our Services

Events provide a billboard for your mission, they create a gathering place to celebrate your sponsors and donors, and they offer a unique opportunity to see the generosity of your community in action. 

Purple Finch Events understands the fundraising landscape and the important role events play in your overall fundraising strategy.  With over 30 years of combined event experience, we help bridge the gap between annual fundraising efforts and the extra logistical and planning challenges an event presents to an organization.

As an extension of your fundraising and marketing/events team, Purple Finch Events creates long-term relationships with each organization we partner with to fully understand your fundraising strategy and to help infuse each event with as many opportunities for donor and sponsor engagement as possible.

Annual event fundraising analysis and goal setting

What events have you planned in past years and what fundraising goals are you trying to accomplish? We take a comprehensive look at all aspects of your current event landscape and infuse best practices to make sure you’re engaging your donors and constituents throughout the calendar year.

Mission-infused design

Driving your mission home throughout your event ensures each guests leaves with a better understanding of the tireless work you do for your community. From sponsorship recognition to branded menus to fund-a-need cases of support on your screens, we tie in the needs of your organization to every aspect of the events we plan with you.

Vendor management

Every member of your event team plays an important role in the success of your event. We select the very best vendors to work with your organization to create an experience your guests will never forget. From florists to photographers, from ice skaters to circus performers, we have a network of exceptional vendors who help build out your mission and event theme.

Run of show creation

Every moment during your event has meaning and a call to action to your guests. Creating a comprehensive run of show allows all vendors to be successful, it allows your organization to clearly share its mission, and it allows the maximum amount of guest participation because everything is clearly mapped out and seamlessly executed.

Volunteer training and management

Volunteers are the lifeblood of an organization and each role created for them at your event can add critical mission driving power for your guests to experience. We help each organization identify their event’s volunteer needs, we help create a volunteer schedule, and we help train, manage, and utilize your volunteers the night of your event so you can connect with your guests and constituents.
