Full Service Event Planning for Foundations and Non-Profits
creating events that inspire and amplify your mission
We understand how important your events are to your mission. You need events that inspire your donors, elevate your brand, activate your work, and expand your partner organizations’ capacity to do more. Events that highlight arts, culture and organizing, that engage donors in your mission, and amplify the impact of the work you’re doing to meet dire needs in our communities
Many foundations are making the choice to step up (versus stepping away) and take a stand for what’s needed in our current political climate and agenda. This foundation support is crucial.
Foundations can use their position to convene and activate others to support their missions. And events have the power to bring people together, inspire and motivate.
Yes -- events are a huge undertaking - financially and time-wise - but a well done event creates ripple effects throughout the community and a huge ROI for your mission. The magic that happens when you bring people together can fuel change-making and the commitment to keep going, even when - and especially when - times are tough.
Here at Inspired Events, we believe in this magic. We exclusively produce events that make a difference in our community.
We’ve planned Policy Convenings, Leadership Award Ceremonies, Capacity Building Retreats, Conferences and Donor Engagement Events for non-profits and foundations such as the San Francisco Foundation, the Latino Community Foundation, the Jim Joseph Foundation, Metta Fund and more.
If you’re feeling the call to produce magic and change through your events, and are ready for the *best* partner in supporting you all along the way, give us a call. We can bring your vision to life.
Let’s do this.

SO YOU CAN focus on what mATTERS MOST: Your Mission & community
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
We plan events that make a difference, from formal awards ceremonies to leadership retreats, philanthropic convenings, conferences, policy summits and community wellness fairs, and everything in between. This is how we’ll work with you:
Project Management: We manage your timeline and budget, set up shared systems to track and monitor progress, and make sure nothing falls by the wayside.
Venue and Vendor Coordination: We secure and liaise with your venue and vendors, collect agreements and paperwork and coordinate payments.
Content Liaising: We collaborate with your content lead to make sure speakers and entertainers have what they need to be successful.
Communications: We coordinate with your communications lead and/or graphic designer to ensure the creation and dissemination of materials such as Save the Date, Invitation, Program, Signage, etc.
Day of Event Preparation: We create day-of timelines and suggested roles, orient volunteers and staff, and review final details with vendors for a smoothly run event.
Stress-Free On-Site Coordination: We serve as the on-site point person with the venue and vendors, coordinate volunteers and staff members, and problem solve any issues that arise.
Wrap: We finalize payments and budget, celebrate, debrief and learn for next time!
