About the Event: Immersing cause into your event to bring donors closer to your mission

How can you increase your chances of converting your event fundraisers and participants to become lifelong donors and champions of your cause? What about using your event to deeply engage participants in your purpose and mission?

At this FIA professional development breakfast, you will hear all about how Vinnies QLD is enhancing the results and impact of their goal busting event product – the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to bring their donors closer to their cause for increased impact. A recent focus from the organisation on providing event participants with a meaningful event experience that raises not just big dollars but engages donors more deeply in their cause and mission aims to yield enhanced long-term results.

Hear from Anthony Nowak, General Manager of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications and Lisa Cronqvist, Fundraising Coordinator – Events and Appeals, who will share with you their expertise, new ideas and how you could use similar principles to further your fundraising and organisation’s goals.


Speaker
Anthony Nowak

Anthony’s passion for fundraising started in 2008 after his father was diagnosed with cancer. He channelled his energy for ‘the greater good’ by accepting a role with Cancer Council Queensland, specialising in direct marketing, managing a $10 million portfolio before moving to Mater Foundation to try his hand at large community events. It was at Mater where he successfully grew International Women’s Day Fun Run from $30,000 to over $600,000 net return.

Anthony consulted for many years, working across the sector with Pareto Phone and Donor Republic before accepting a position with Vinnies as the General Manager of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications - a cause Anthony is very passionate about.
