Associations are voluntary membership organizations formed when individuals or entities come together to pursue common interests, goals, or activities. They may operate as for-profit or nonprofit entities depending on their structure and purpose. There can be different types of associations—such as professional, trade-based, recreational, and cause-oriented associations.

As the name suggests, not-for-profit organizations are entities that operate to serve a social, educational, charitable, or public interest mission, rather than to generate profit for owners or stakeholders. Any revenue generated is reinvested back into programs, operations, or initiatives that support the organization’s goals and purposes.  

NPOs typically rely on diverse revenue streams to support their operations and programs. The key funding sources of NPOs include

• “Individual donations: These range from small donations from the general public to large gifts from high-capacity donors, recurring monthly or annual donations, and crowdfunding.”
• “Grants & institutional funding: Includes government grants, corporate sponsorships & partnerships, and foundation grants from private, corporate & community.”
• “Earned revenue: Such as event ticket sales, registration fees, and fee-for-service programs.”
• “Special events: Fundraising events & galas, charity auctions, online funding campaigns, and athletic fundraisers.”

Association events are gatherings organized by member-based organizations to facilitate professional networking, knowledge sharing, professional development, and industry collaboration. These events:

• Strengthen member engagement
• Elevate thought leadership
• Support advocacy efforts
• Generate funding
• Provide recruitment opportunities

A not-for-profit event is a gathering organized by NPOs with an intent to support a social mission or cause, raise funds, and educate the general public. These events are designed to create positive social impact, benefit communities at large, and spread awareness. 

They offer diverse benefits to the general public, which includes

• Providing free or subsidized services—like health screenings, educational programs, etc.
• Raising awareness about important issues, health topics, social causes, or importance of literacy in the community
• Enhancing community life and cultural understanding with arts & cultural events or programs
• Strengthening community relationships through recurring gatherings and events
• Encouraging the general public’s participation in democratic processes and community improvement
• Creating valuable opportunities for the general public to contribute to their communities in meaningful ways 

Associations and charitable organizations can host a wide variety of events.

• Conferences & summits
• Fundraisers & galas
• Educational webinars & skill development workshops
• Membership drives and recruitments
• Board or committee meetings
• Volunteer engagement events
• Public awareness campaigns
• Recognition events & award ceremonies 

Virtual events offer numerous advantages for associations and nonprofit organizations. 

• Virtual events enhance accessibility by facilitating global participation, enabling individuals and representatives to participate in events from anywhere in the world.
• They promote inclusivity by allowing you to incorporate tools like screen readability, live translation, and multilingual subtitles—to enable people with mobility, hearing, or vision challenges to participate actively.
• They are more cost-effective in comparison to in-person events—lower venue costs, no food & beverage costs, fewer logistic requirements, and more.
• Virtual events are highly scalable—allowing you to expand your reach to a broader audience by eliminating geographical and language barriers. 
• Virtual events support community building & boost engagement between remote members, volunteers, and other stakeholders with real-time interactions and dynamic networking opportunities. 
• Virtual events allow you to effectively track your association and charitable event’s performance. By utilizing virtual event platforms, you can track registrations, ticket sales, engagements, & more.
