Conferences

Let us help you plan and organize a successful conference which brings people together. We have a lot of experience, and know how to structure a conference, organize the logistics, and plan for those small details which make a conference shine.

Identifying and marketing a conference to potential participants is a crucial component to a successful conference, and we have the know-how to work with you to create the right buzz.

Fundraising campaigns

Organize and lead successful fundraising campaigns which bring results:

  • Bucket Auction Raffles,  with exquisite prizes that capture the imagination of supporters. 
  • Direct Mail solicitations.
  • Online 50/50 Raffles utilizing the latest in electronic platforms.

Cake Auctions

Cake Auctions are a unique event which can net $150,000 or more for your organization. We can help in putting together a successful cake auction for your organization which will raise both funds and friends.

Golf Tournaments

Well-run golf tournaments are still a great way to raise funds for your organization. The key is to have unique elements to make them enjoyable for golfers as well as raise funds. We have the know-how to make your golf tournament shine – everything from signing-up sponsors to individual hole competitions to recruiting participants.

Special events

Staff from Skyline Communications have planned many gala events, including “An evening with the Dynos”, a fundraising dinner at the Royal Tyrrell Museum for the sports teams of the Drumheller Composite High School, “Baseball at Dusk”, a fundraising dinner for the Badlands Baseball Academy in Oyen, and “An Evening of Dreams” for Edmonton’s Adeara Recovery Centre. Adding the attendance of a Celebrity for these events definitely notches up the glamour component for these events.

Social enterprise

Skyline Communications has business experience in the start-up of a social enterprise. For not-for-profit organizations, having a social enterprise (such as a Thrift Store) can be a lucrative way to raise funds for the main mission of the organization; however, there are many potential pitfalls along the way.

publishing and writing

A great way to create buzz for your organization is to contribute freelance articles to newspaper, blogs, and magazines. We have contributed to many magazines and newspapers, including The Edmonton Journal, Canadian Geographic, and The Globe and Mail. We also published “Skyline – the magazine of the Canadian Rockies.”

Donor strategies and Management

Implement strategies to recruit, manage, engage, and thank donors. Fundraising is about relationships, and donors would like to be treated that way. We know how to structure an event to have the organization’s leadership thank each donor personally, resulting in repeat and lifelong donors.
