Three Critical Moments That Make or Break Your Fundraising Event

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 2pm ET, 11am PT

Seating is limited so act fast!
The difference between a "nice event" and a record-breaking fundraiser comes down to three critical moments:

  • The Story Moment: Finding and telling the perfect story that opens donors' hearts
  • The Ask Moment: Creating an offer so clear and compelling that giving becomes the obvious choice
  • The Lift the Room Moment: Building momentum by setting clear goals and showing real-time progress

And the organizations that maximize the impact of these moments follow a very specific program (Jim Shapiro calls it the “Mullet Method”).

The hard truth? Most organizations invest thousands of dollars and countless hours into events that barely break even because they focus on everything BUT these three moments. Their speaking program is too long, emphasizing the wrong things at the wrong times.

When you nail these three moments, your fundraising results can double or even triple.

This strategy session is for fundraisers and nonprofit leaders who want to transform their events from "nice gatherings" to powerful fundraising engines that break previous records.

Here’s what Jim will cover in the 60-minute strategy session on Zoom:

The Mullet Method: The perfect run of show that positions your three critical moments for maximum impact 
Proven frameworks for executing each of the three moments flawlessly (whether your event is in-person, virtual, or hybrid) 
Common mistakes that sabotage event fundraising results -- and how to avoid them
