Non-Profit Event Support in Austin, TX.

Treat us like an extension of your staff during busy seasons.


Our Events on Retainer service is designed for nonprofits, churches, and small businesses that host recurring or seasonal events and need consistent, professional support—without restarting the planning process each time.

We become your behind-the-scenes partner for everything from venue booking and vendor coordination to program design, sponsorship tracking, and post-event wrap-ups.

What’s Included in Ongoing Support.

  • Event Calendar Planning.

    Identify and prioritize your yearly events.

  • Venue & Vendor Coordination.

    Secure spaces, quotes, and logistics for each program.

  • Budget Management.

    Forecast spending, track invoices, and align with donor goals.

  • Program Design.

    Create run sheets, speaker flow, and audience experiences.

  • Day-of Execution.

    Lead coordination for your credited events (Standard + Mini).

  • Post-Event Wrap-Up.

How it Works.

We operate as your ongoing event department—providing monthly planning hours, vendor management, and access to event “credits” you can use throughout the year for your major programs or mini gatherings.

Each retainer includes:

  • Dedicated planner contact (phone, email, and project board access)

  • Quarterly event strategy session to review goals and timelines

  • Customized dashboard for tracking vendors, sponsors, and communications

  • Planning hours to be used toward meetings, design, sourcing, or logistics

  • Event credits for your key annual events

You can use your credits for both Standard Events (like a donor dinner or luncheon) and Mini Events (such as team trainings, mixers, or community pop-ups).

Mini Events.

Mini Events (standalone) are short-format gatherings designed to keep your organization visible and connected between larger programs—perfect when you don’t need a full retainer commitment but still want professional support.

Examples include:

  • Donor appreciation socials

  • Volunteer breakfasts

  • Training workshops

  • Church or community pop-ups

  • Networking mixers

Each standalone Mini Event includes:

  • 2 hours of planning and coordination prior to the event (vendor communication, layout planning, and logistics)

  • 5 hours of on-site management, including setup, execution, and teardown

You’ll receive the same level of organization and care as our full events—just in a compact, cost-effective format that fits your schedule and goals.

Investment.

Our retainers are designed to fit your rhythm and your season. Whether you host one big event or several smaller gatherings throughout the year, we’ll provide consistent planning support so your team can focus on mission, not logistics.
