2. Hybrid Gala

If you’re planning a Winter Holiday Gala for your foundation this year, you can enhance that experience by offering a Hybrid – part in person and part -online gala! This hybrid format offers your donors who can’t attend a chance to participate in the event via a livestream video feed and online bidding options which integrate seamlessly with in-person bidding.
