CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF FUNDRAISING AND EVENTS!
Dear friends of Powered by Professionals

In the midst of a busy spring event season, I am excited to share that Powered by Professionals is celebrating our 20th anniversary this year!
 
Back in 2oo1, my business partner, Ken, and I began brainstorming how we could bring the efficiency of business practices to the nonprofit space. In the following months after the tragic events of 9/11, I had a friend reach out who wanted to create a charitable foundation. Their goal was to provide bereavement support for children who had lost their parents, but they did not know where to start.
 
Our first undertaking was helping my friend launch their foundation, A Little Hope, which was the first national organization dedicated to raising money to advance the growth of children's grief support, and 20 year later, A Little Hope still in operation today!
 
Over the years we have expanded our services to include everything from fundraising and strategic planning to event management and production, board development, and more.
 
If you keep scrolling, you can check out some of the key moments from PBP history followed by some exciting company updates and the latest fundraising insights from the PBP team.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us from the beginning and we are looking forward to the next 20 years as we continue to work with organizations who are dedicated to making the world a better place!

"We began our relationship with Powered by Professionals at a fortuitous time; we had just begun planning our 10th Anniversary celebration, we welcomed a new Executive Director, and we were looking to ramp up our staff. Our hope to hold an in-person anniversary celebration was ultimately thwarted by the pandemic, but PBP proactively planned both in-person and virtual events, and course corrected late in the game. PBP's organizational prowess helped by tracking all pledges, organizing and setting up a robust silent auction, and managing the virtual program buildout while ultimately supporting the largest fundraiser we have ever had. We look forward to continuing our partnership with PBP in 2022." - Tony Hillery, Harlem Grown, Founder & CEO
