Focus on Fundraising. We'll Handle the Rest.
Planning your next event can be one of the most exciting parts about fundraising, but it can also be one of the most stressful, especially for small teams. Whether you're coordinating vendors, wrangling speakers or checking in guests, there are countless moving parts that can pull your team away from what matters most: connecting with your donors.
That’s where JT comes in. We’ve spent over 40 years helping organizations and businesses across the country create unforgettable events. Now, we’re offering - the Day-Of Event Planner - designed specifically for organizations that already have their vision in place, but need expert hands to bring it all together.
Don’t let the name fool you. JT’s Day-Of Event Planner service starts long before event day. Think of us like a wedding planner—but instead of focusing on one couple, we’re here to help you build lasting relationships with hundreds of supporters.
Our team steps in 6–8 weeks before your event to finalize logistics, manage vendors and build a detailed run of show. We’ll take it from there so you and your team can have peace of mind on the day of your event. JT’s Day-Of Event Planner will handle:
Site Logistics & Vendor Coordination Catering? Staging? Lighting? Valet? We’ve got it covered.
Day-of Staffing & Management. We’ll manage vendor arrivals, oversee set-up and breakdown and make sure your timeline stays on track.
Program Execution. We work closely with your program participants, AV team, and partners to ensure every moment is well-rehearsed and on cue.
Here’s what Drew Moran, Chief Development Officer of Nourishing Hope, had to say about partnering with JT:
“Bringing in JT to manage event logistics for our annual gala was one of the best strategic decisions we’ve made. It allowed my team and I to step back from the day-to-day logistics and fully dedicate our time to what matters most - building deeper relationships with our donors and driving fundraising efforts in support of the people we serve. Knowing that our event was in expert hands empowered the team to focus on the mission, growing the success of our annual gala year after year.”
