Event Planning for Nonprofits
From charity walks and fundraising galas to community workshops and virtual webinars, nonprofit events take a lot more planning than most people realize. While attendees only see a few hours of activities, weeks or even months of preparation happen behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. This course introduces you to the nonprofit event planning process from a Virtual Assistant's perspective. You'll learn how events are planned, organized, and managed, how volunteers and sponsors fit into the picture, and where VAs provide valuable administrative support before, during, and after an event.
