Fundraising Services Designed to Inspire Giving and Drive Results

When a fundraising event works, it feels effortless to the guests — but that ease is the result of preparation, experience, and knowing how to guide a room in real time. My role is to help organizations create fundraising moments that feel natural, engaging, and genuinely compelling, so supporters feel good about giving and confident in their participation.

Every service I offer is focused on one outcome: helping you raise more while creating an experience your supporters actually enjoy.

🟡 SERVICE 1: FUNDRAISING AUCTIONEER

Live Auction Leadership

A great live auction isn’t about speed or volume — it’s about clarity, confidence, and momentum. When guests understand what’s happening and feel comfortable participating, bidding becomes fun instead of intimidating.

As your fundraising auctioneer, I focus on:

  • Creating clear, easy-to-follow bidding

  • Maintaining energy without overwhelming the room

  • Encouraging friendly competition that feels positive and inclusive

  • Keeping the program moving so attention and enthusiasm stay high

The result is an auction that feels engaging, efficient, and enjoyable — and one that consistently outperforms expectations.

🟡 SERVICE 2: EVENT EMCEE

Confident, Engaging Program Flow

The tone of your event matters just as much as the fundraising moments themselves. As emcee, my goal is to keep the evening flowing smoothly while maintaining a sense of warmth, connection, and ease.

That includes:

  • Welcoming guests and setting expectations

  • Managing transitions so the program never drags

  • Keeping the audience engaged and attentive

  • Supporting speakers and honorees so their moments land well

When the program feels organized and relaxed, guests stay present — and generosity follows.

🟡 SERVICE 3: PADDLE RAISE / FUND-A-NEED

Purpose-Driven Giving Moments

The paddle raise is often the most meaningful part of the evening — and the most sensitive. It needs to feel sincere, compelling, and clear.

I help organizations:

  • Frame giving levels in a way that feels attainable and inspiring

  • Maintain momentum without pressure

  • Keep the focus on impact rather than mechanics

  • Create a moment that feels authentic, not scripted

When done well, the paddle raise becomes a shared experience that supporters remember long after the event.

🟡 SERVICE 4: EVENT STRATEGY & PREPARATION

Thoughtful Planning That Shows on Event Night

Successful fundraising doesn’t start when guests arrive — it starts weeks (or months) earlier. I work closely with organizations to help shape the event from the inside out.

This includes collaboration on:

  • Run-of-show planning and timing

  • Live auction structure and pacing

  • Placement and flow of fundraising moments

  • Audience engagement and clarity

  • Donor psychology and participation dynamics

The goal is for your team to feel confident and prepared long before the first guest walks in.

🟡 FUNDRAISING ENHANCEMENTS (THE “ADD-ON” VALUE)

Strategic Fundraising Enhancements

For organizations looking to elevate results, I offer access to proven fundraising enhancements that integrate seamlessly into your event:

  • Interactive fundraising games and experiences
    Thoughtfully designed moments — such as games and participation-driven opportunities — that increase giving while keeping the room energized and engaged.

  • Exclusive destination and experience offerings
    Access to high-interest live auction destinations and experiences, including Golden Ticket-style opportunities, designed to appeal to a wide range of supporters and drive competitive bidding.

These additions are always tailored to your audience and event goals, ensuring they enhance — not distract from — the overall experience.

🟡 WHAT WORKING TOGETHER FEELS LIKE

A Partner Who’s Fully Invested

When we work together, you’re not just hiring someone to take the microphone. You’re gaining a partner who:

  • Prepares carefully so the event feels effortless

  • Reads the room and adjusts in real time

  • Brings energy and warmth without stealing the spotlight

  • Keeps fundraising moments focused, positive, and effective

The result is an event that feels confident, engaging, and purposeful — for your team and your supporters.
