Six Minutes to Success: The Art and Science of Profitable Fundraising Events with Roger Devine
In this episode of Money to Give, host Rick Peck sits down with Roger Devine—from SchoolAuction.net—to explore how nonprofit fundraising is shifting in today’s climate of uncertainty. With federal grants under review, private foundations stretched thin, and donors facing economic volatility, many organizations are reconsidering the role of events in their fundraising mix. Roger shares insights from decades of experience running successful benefit events, highlighting what makes them profitable—and what causes so many to break even at best. From the power of a well-timed “special appeal” that can generate 50% of an evening’s revenue, to the importance of engaging mid-level donors, he offers practical strategies nonprofits of any size can use. Listeners will learn: Why relying on a single funding stream is riskier than ever How to design events that generate real income, not just awareness The overlooked power of PTA-style tactics and recurring donations Whether you’re debating whether to scale back or double down on events, this conversation offers clarity, actionable ideas, and inspiration.
