This Year’s Lessons,
Next Year’s Wins
Your last fundraising event taught your team a lot. We help you capture those lessons, so your next one builds on what worked instead of starting from scratch.
After-action reviews help lean, volunteer-powered nonprofits see what happened, decide what to keep and change, and plan their next event with confidence.
Who It’s For
Nonprofits with a small staff that rely on volunteers to run a yearly fundraising event.
Teams that aren’t sure what their event really nets once costs and time are counted.
Organizations across the Midwest that have lost know-how when a chair or volunteer moved on.
Ask yourself:
Do you know what your last event netted after every cost?
Did your first-time guests and sponsors come back?
Are you repeating what worked, or just what you’ve always done?

How It Works
1. Free 30-minute call. We learn about your event, your goals and the records you have.
2. Your custom proposal. After the call, we send a review plan and pricing that fit your event.
3. Gather and review. Once you approve, we collect what exists, talk with key staff and volunteers, and walk through four simple questions.
4. Receive your report. A clear summary, an event financial review and a keep, change, stop list your next team can use.

What You Walk Away With
An event financial review showing where the money came in and where it went.
Net revenue after all costs, plus an estimate of the staff and volunteer time it took, even if no one tracked hours. Documented volunteer hours can also strengthen grant applications.
What worked, what to change, and a one-page keep, change, stop list.
Delivered electronically. Printed copies available for an additional fee.
