If you’re a frontline fundraiser who wants to resign or has already quit, your nonprofit organization does not care about you. If it did, you either wouldn’t be thinking of leaving right now, or it would have retained you instead of losing you to greener pastures. Unfortunately, those greener pastures are an illusion.

But in only 72 hours, Special Events Manager Ashley Bartol managed to pivot and take the event entirely online, so guests could still bid on the silent and live auction items from home. While the BGC didn’t quite raise the $200,000 that had been their live event goal, it showed Bartol that virtual events worked.
