About GFS Events

GFS Events is a full service event management company dedicated to helping you produce the most successful fundraiser for your nonprofit. What sets us apart? We view your event through the lens of a Development Director's eyes. We look for increased donor engagement and support, reduced costs whenever possible and unique opportunities to fundraise for your organization.

GFS Events partners with your organization to assist with:

Nonprofit Event Production and Management

From Auction Galas to Golf tournaments and Luncheons to Walks/Runs and Community Events, we can manage your entire fundraising event from beginning to end. We handle budgeting, venue selection, procurement, logistics and all the details that ensure your fundraising event is executed seamlessly and successfully.

Sponsorship

From brainstorming creative sponsorship opportunities to strategizing an approach to and management of solicitation and sponsor fulfillment, GFS Events is your partner at every level. We can contact sponsors, create a detailed sponsorship package and train your staff, board and volunteers on best practices for sponsor solicitation.

Table Captain Management

The GFS team manages guest and registration lists, develops seating charts, and coordinates meetings around guest placement. GFS recommends strategies to connect with your donors and engage them in your fundraiser. We create resources for your table captains and communicate with them and support them by answering questions and helping them to register their guests. Our goal is for your table captains, supporters, and guests to have a great experience.

Volunteer Support

We will help you anticipate your committee and on-site volunteer needs. GFS can help you to assemble a skilled volunteer team ready to respond to all logistical needs for your event. We arm each one of your volunteers with a specifically defined responsibility and ensure that we all share a common goal: to create a seamless event flow. We help keep the event on time so that donors and guests can enjoy the event, listen to the messaging and ultimately donate to your organization.
