RAISE + ARRANGE 2027

About this event

Lights. Camera. Impact. From Behind the Curtain to the Main Stage. Great fundraising events don't happen by chance. They're carefully crafted experiences that inspire generosity, build community, and advance meaningful missions. RAISE + ARRANGE 2027 brings together the professionals behind those moments—fundraisers, nonprofit leaders, event planners, corporate partners, venues, auction specialists, hospitality experts, and creative vendors—for a day dedicated to the art and strategy of fundraising events. Through inspiring keynotes, candid conversations, practical case studies, and real-world stories, we'll explore what it takes to create events that not only look incredible but deliver measurable impact for the organizations and communities we serve. This year's theme, Lights. Camera. Impact., celebrates the people who make fundraising magic happen. From behind-the-scenes logistics to center-stage moments, every successful gala, golf tournament, luncheon, and donor experience depends on a talented cast working together toward a common goal. Whether you're producing your organization's signature fundraiser, supporting nonprofit clients, or helping bring charitable events to life, you'll leave with fresh ideas, practical tools, and a network of professionals who understand the unique challenges and rewards of fundraising events. Join us at the historic Hollywood Theater as we celebrate the partnerships, creativity, and collaboration that turn great events into greater impact.
