How to Properly Staff a Fundraising Event
Event Planning Checklist
A fundraising event is a unique event in that for the most part you have a very limited budget (or no budget) to use towards the event itself. This is a good thing – that means more dollars are going towards the charity or organization the event is supporting. But, it also means a planner needs to be very creative in how they put the event on, and this includes staffing the event. It takes a lot of people to make an event come alive. From set up to clean up you need people – and it takes quite a few people to make it possible for you to open the doors to your guests.
Here is an Staffing Plan that you can use for your next fundraising event. Also included is an example of Staffing Overview with Job Descriptions.
Be sure to include “develop staffing plan” to your event checklist.

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t helping out with a fundraiser or planning a party, whether it was charity leagues in junior high school or fundraisers in high school. I pursued marketing in college as I loved how many exciting roles were covered under one umbrella. It opened the door for me to pursue PR, communications and events. I found a career that is the perfect balance of exactly who I am – creative and detailed. As a public relations and marketing/communications executive with over 15 years of experience, event planning has been at the core of much of my work. I’ve planned everything from a 2,000 person corporate gala to company retreats, charitable auctions and intimate cocktail parties. Event planning is a passion. When I’m not working my day-job as the head of PR/communications, I dedicate my time to the New York Junior League as well as other charitable organizations. (For my full bio, please see LinkedIn.)
