Registration Software

We recently blogged about the importance of donations to non-profits, associations and foundations. Donations are also very important to educational organizations, whose meetings and events, it seems, may be more apt to weather the economic storm.

Meeting planners working with alumni can easily take fundraising efforts to the next level by adding a donation option to their event registration. They can even ask about donations from those who cannot attend. Redirect invitees to the How to Donate section of your website after declining an invitation, or include a regret question asking them if they would be interested in donating to your alumni fund. This way, you'll reach alumni who simply cannot make it to your event (due to schedule or location conflict, etc.) but who want to give back to the organization nonetheless.

During tough economic times, it's important for planners to use all their resources to get in touch with alumni and find those interested in donating. Thanks to Cvent's comprehensive set of event management tools, it's easy to customize your event registration and make sure you're reaching out for support at any time possible.
