The Community Table: Effective Fundraising through Events

Held at Pickerington Main Library.

Susan Urano, Executive Director of the Athens County Foundation and author of The Community Table, visits Pickerington Main Library to discuss her recent book, which translates years of nonprofit experience with large-scale annual fundraisers into a step-by-step guide for development professionals, community leaders, and volunteers. The book highlights the annual “Bounty on the Bricks” event, a touchstone event in the Athens community that raises close to one hundred thousand dollars for the food bank.

Learn how and when to mount a fundraiser, how to identify stakeholders and what social and financial value the event will bring to the community, and how partnerships might augment the payoff.

This free event is open to individuals and to business and non-profit organization groups: register now to reserve space for yourself or your party, by completing the form below or by calling 614-837-4104, ext. 226
