The beginning...

"Would you be willing to share your sponsorship package?"

In 2015, Annie Vanexem emailed perfect stranger Kristen Drexler asking if she would share a tool - a sponsorship package - that every fundraising event planner relies on as a source of revenue.  Weeks later, the two were meeting for tea and talking about the opportunity to engage more event planners who are looking for advice from people who already know the industry.

As a community of event planners, we have the opportunity to share knowledge with each other and help one another grow in our roles and reach new heights. The purpose of Fundraising EPIC is to strengthen each other as fundraising event planners, which will strengthen our organizations and therefore our communities. We want to learn from, inspire and support one another.

A name was picked, a logo was created and now you help write a part of the next chapter!
