Thinking of having a fundraising event? Before deciding to
have an event, remember that there are certain hidden costs that should be
factored into the decision. Consider the amount of time it will take of your staff

event primarily to raise funds, very often the same amount of time would be
used more effectively if spent building relationships and making personal
“asks”. Deciding how to spend your precious time in fundraising is critical to how to start a nonprofit organization in Texas. Events are great, but not always the answer to every need.
