In the vibrant world of nonprofits, where grants and donations serve as the lifeblood of organizations, fundraising isn’t just the responsibility of the development or advancement team —it’s a collective effort of the board, other key stakeholders, and nonprofit staff. Unlike the more segmented fundraising efforts, like the annual campaign or major gift asks, nonprofit events serve as the singular place where fundraising responsibilities converge.
Here, executive leadership, board members, and the event host committee cultivate, solicit, and steward support. Programming staff volunteer and share their experiences. Marketing and communications teams align to showcase the organization’s mission. And the development team coordinates all for the ultimate goal of raising funds and awareness of the organization’s mission. Amidst the whirlwind of event logistics, from venue selection to program planning, one critical aspect stands out: coordinating event registration. This is precisely where RSVPify steps in, providing a reliable solution that streamlines the intricate event planning process, allowing nonprofits to focus their energy on what truly matters—raising vital funds and fostering community support.
With that in mind, RSVPify sat down with Sophie Croen of the Wildlife Conservation Network, a leading environmental conservation nonprofit organization, to learn more about how WCN leveraged our software to make nonprofit event planning easier.
Learn a little more about the important work that Wildlife Conservation Network does every day in their own words:
FUNDING AND RESOURCES
We offer fiscal sponsorship and help partners to fundraise, but we do so much more. Whether it’s connecting them with supporters, writing foundation grants, offering scholarship opportunities to their staff, and obtaining solar power for their organizations—WCN gives conservationists the funding and resources they need to save wildlife.
BUILDING SKILLS
Conservationists know a lot about wildlife, but might not know how to build a website or create a financial balance sheet. We offer partners opportunities to strengthen or learn new skills to make their organizations more impactful and resilient—from accounting to communications to fundraising.
CULTIVATING A NETWORK
WCN helps conservationists to collaborate and connect, including providing opportunities for partners to visit each other in the field to share experiences, support their colleagues, and make their organizations stronger by working together.
INTERNSHIPS
We offer our partners funding to hire student interns in their home countries, helping local students learn and grow and giving partners some extra assistance.
