Planning Your Nonprofit Event

This information is designed for nonprofit staff and volunteers charged with setting up events, meetings, trainings and/or other gatherings with limited resources. From board meetings to major fundraising events, we know that planning can be challenging, and we hope this information will be helpful to you. 

Please note that this section is currently being revised and updated to better serve Minnesota's nonprofits. We anticipate these revisions will be finished by early 2007. In the meantime, please look over our Nonprofit Meeting Space Guide and consider signing up for our bi-weekly email EventsEtc here.
