Summer is just getting started, but in the event world we know what that means: Fall events are right around the corner. Even though they're still 4-6 months away, you Fall fundraising event starts *now*. Presumably, the date, time and location of your event are set and many of your sponsors are in place. Perhaps, even, the additional details like the event planner, caterer and other vendors that make your event hum are as well. Different than just a social event, however, a fundraising event has some additional steps on top of event logistics to you should start to focus in on.

The following is a checklist for the month of June to position your organization for its best fundraising event yet:  

- **Event Details:**  Vendors, Venue and Event ‘theme’ should be selected.
- **Cultivate Event Committee: **Determine who will help you bring people/donors to the event.
- **Communication**

As you plan the bones of the event, also be on the lookout for something new to try at this year's event. Where it's a social media wall (like [Swell Slides](http://bit.ly/swellslides)) to amplify guest engagement, on-site giving to raise more money, etc., implementing new technology each year will help you streamline processes in the long-run.
