Fall events feel far away—until they aren’t. Smart fundraisers use the summer lull to get ahead. In addition to hiring Kilbreath Events to help in planning, here’s how to stay sane when the fall season ramps up:
Permits – In Washington State, venues, food service, alcohol, and special-use spaces often require permits. Get the paperwork rolling now before fall backlogs.
Data Entry – Don’t let guest lists, donations, or vendor info pile up. Clean up and update your databases now to avoid a fall data swamp.
Program Basics – Nail down your program structure early. Knowing the basics for your run of show, key speakers, and special moments now means smoother execution later.
Procurement – Traditional auction? Summer’s the time to tap your board’s social calendars. Encourage them to start asking now while they’re out networking.
Sanity Check – Take stock of timelines, tasks, and team bandwidth. A mid-year reset gives you breathing room when crunch time hits.
Plan now, breathe later.
