Small But Mighty: How a Local Non-Profit is Using the Power of Community to Create Successful Fundraising Events

Real Talk for the Non-Profit Event Pro

In this episode, your host Amy Milne gets real with Pam Osmond, Fund Development Manager at Home Horizon, a local charity in Collingwood, Ontario that provides transitional housing, programs and support for youth at risk of homelessness. Pam kicks things off by walking us through Home Horizon's three signature events, which bring in almost 25% of their total revenue (who says events aren't valuable?!), and what she feels is one of the not-so-obvious reasons for their success: private ski clubs. As you'll hear from Amy throughout the episode, Pam is one of the best good humans and we feel lucky to have gotten a peek behind the curtain as she opens up about her personal story which includes being a hotel night manager, a cross-country tour with a group of Kenyan choir children and being a Habitat for Humanity home recipient. You don't want to miss it! Curl up with a warm drink because this is a heartwarming episode that will have you believing in the power of a small community.
Make sure to check out Home Horizon to see all of the incredible work they're doing in the community and if you want to reach out to Pam directly, you can find her on LinkedIn.

”You can be a voice for us. Spreading that awareness is exactly what we need to do.” – Pam Osmond
