Event Fundraising Consultation
A data-driven strategic review of your event fundraising history — available to nonprofit organizations anywhere in the United States.
See how our analytics approach works in practice — read our guide to silent auction data and FMV recovery.
Most nonprofit organizations rely on instinct and tradition when planning their annual fundraising events. Items that underperform get re-run. Appeals that plateau go unchanged. Revenue that should be growing stays flat — and no one knows exactly why.
Capital Benefit Auctions built a proprietary analytics engine to change that. We ingest your historical fundraising data, surface the patterns that are invisible year to year, and deliver a clear, prioritized roadmap for what to do differently.
Four deliverables, built on your data.
Multi-Year Data Analysis
We analyze up to four years of your event fundraising records — live auction results, silent auction performance, fund-a-need totals, and donor participation rates — through the Capital Benefit Auctions analytics engine. This surfaces trends, patterns, and anomalies that a single year's results cannot reveal.
Written Recommendations Report
You receive a professionally prepared written document identifying your highest-priority opportunities for revenue growth. Recommendations are specific, sequenced, and grounded in your own data — not generic best practices.
Analytics Printout Package
A printed package of your analytics dashboard screenshots alongside the underlying data tables used in the analysis. Your leadership team walks away with a permanent reference document for planning discussions.
One-Hour Strategic Presentation
We present our findings and recommendations in a focused one-hour video conference session. This is a working meeting — come with questions.
If our recommendations help your organization recover $2,000–$3,000 in event revenue you were leaving on the table, the consultation pays for itself many times over.
Introductory rate for founding clients. Flat fee covering the data analysis, written report, analytics package, and one-hour presentation. All engagements conducted remotely via video conference. Organizations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area may request an in-person presentation for an additional fee.
