Virtual and Hybrid Gala Fundraising Services
Though the pandemic has shifted, and many events have returned to in-person, we are still seeing a handful of virtual and hybrid galas every season. If you are producing a virtual gala, Stellar is ready to help make your fundraising production a complete success. We pioneered virtual galas in California, and have developed industry-leading best practices for planning, producing and performing a virtual gala.
Our auctioneers are skilled public performers who can effectively command the attention of a virtual audience to communicate your mission and inspire giving. Our comprehensive pre-event consulting will help guide you through the process to create an event that is entertaining, mission-focused and, most importantly, profitable.
Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March of 2020, we have been fine-tuning our approach to online fundraising and working with a variety of vendors, consultants, and clients to develop best practices for live fundraising in the virtual world.
A virtual fundraising event calls for more than “just” an auctioneer: it calls for a performer who can engage your crowd, be the host for your event if needed, and help guide the narrative from beginning to end. We engage with your organization to learn your mission and then craft a script to effectively communicate it to virtual attendees in a way that motivates participation.
We wholeheartedly believe in the power of working together before your event to set the stage for success. Our team is ready to work with your staff and volunteers to:
- Identify the type of Virtual Gala that works best for your crowd and region
- Advise on technology solutions for the type of Virtual Gala that suits your organization best
- Consult in advance of your event, offering experience-based advice on best practices for implementing the Virtual Gala, including run of show, duration of event, fundraising platform integration, necessary staff/volunteer roles, entertainment, transitions, performances, and more
- Consult on best practices for conducting a live auction and fund-a-need virtually, including types of auction lots, order, groupings, challenge grants, and more
- Participate in multiple run-throughs of the gala
- Perform on screen to help raise as much money as possible
Should you need additional help. we have relationships in place to help you produce a professional looking, high-quality virtual gala. See our virtual gala partners for a complete list of the vendors we know and trust.
