Nonprofit Needs a Volunteer Corps of Event Planners

Save to Favorites

Mimsi International is a New York-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works in Haiti to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates through community-powered mobile pregnancy clinics and technologies. Mimsi has been working for the past 4-1/2 years in the Southern Department outside the city of Les Cayes. Currently, Mimsi employs 17 community members as prenatal care providers who have provided free pregnancy care for over 8,500 pregnant women living in more than 60 rural villages. To support our annual campaign, Mimsi is hosting 8 events in 2020 starting with a friendraiser in March and ending with Giving Tuesday in December 2020. We need to create two fundraising event teams for our nonprofit that will help orchestrate a series of great events to grow the donor community. Each team will need the following roles filled:

Event Coordinator

The job is to oversee all of the managers and their teams, connecting the contributions of each team to form a picture-perfect experience for the guests on the day of the event. The event coordinator is the chief organizer and the one who’s ultimately responsible for keeping costs in line with the budget and making things happen.

Event Communications Manager

The event communications manager will create buzz both on and offline. This person will plan and distribute a detailed calendar to the entire committee that outlines topics and send dates for email invites, printed invitations, and promotional posts on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Event Operations Manager

The event operations manager should be a meticulously organized, Type-A individual with sparkling social skills that can lend to wheeling and dealing when it’s time to book vendors. While the event coordinator makes the final call on food and floral arrangements, the event operations manager will be the one gathering available options and all pertinent information so you can contrast, compare, and make decisions confidently.

Fundraising Program Manager

The most passionate development associate is the perfect candidate for this crucial role. The fundraising program manager will create and execute every event activity that’s intended to raise money for your cause. Tasked with incorporating giving into the event in a way that’s fun, tasteful, and effective, the fundraising program manager’s contribution will have the biggest impact on the overall success of your event.
