Your Fundraising Event Has More Potential Than You Think
Nearly 500 events. Millions of dollars raised for nonprofits across the country. And a track record of helping organizations get there.
I'm Debbie Scheer, Denver-based benefit auctioneer, professional emcee, and fundraising consultant. Whether you need someone to run the whole room or just the strategy behind it, I help nonprofits unlock what their events are actually capable of raising.
Every great event starts with a conversation- let's have one.
Don't take my word for it. Watch what happens when strategy meets stage presence.
TWO WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
As Your Fundraising Consultant & Strategic Partner. You Run the Event And I Help You Build What Makes It Successful
This is for nonprofits who are running their own event and want a true fundraising consultant in their corner. We start by digging into your previous year's data together — identifying where money was left on the table and where your biggest opportunities for growth live. From there we build your complete fundraising framework: live auction strategy, run of show, script development, mission moment creation, paddle raise design, speaker coaching (if wanted) and board preparation (if wanted).On event night your team takes the stage and you feel confident knowing we have done everything to make sure they're ready. And when it's over we debrief, review what the numbers are telling us, and start building toward an even stronger event next year.
As Your Benefit Auctioneer-We Do It Together, Start to Finish
This is the full partnership — and it's my most comprehensive offering. When you hire me as your benefit auctioneer, you're not just hiring someone for the night. You're getting everything in the consulting package included at no additional cost. We dig into your data together, build your complete fundraising strategy, develop your run of show and script, design your paddle raise, create your mission moments, and prepare your board and speakers. On event night I take the stage as your licensed benefit auctioneer and if you'd like, I'll emcee your program too, at no extra charge. No energy drops, no disconnect between your program and your fundraising just a consistent strategic presence from first strategy meeting to final goodbye to your guests. And when the night is over we're not done. We debrief, review your results, celebrate the wins, identify the opportunities, and turn that data into the foundation for an even stronger event next year. That post-event debrief isn't an afterthought, it's where your historical fundraising data starts working for you.
