SOPAC (South Orange Performing Arts Center)

CAPACITY BUILDING LEADS TO RECORD FUNDRAISING

In fall 2016, Growth for Good produced SOPAC’s 10th Anniversary Dinner. Originally hired in 2015 to assist with building capacity in the development department and launching a capital campaign, planning the 10th Anniversary Dinner was a natural progression. Growth for Good helped SOPAC establish best practices around honorees and host committee members and set up an electronic journal and electronic bidding for the silent auction. The event not only established a new model for the event — which continues to be implemented by the SOPAC development team — it broke all fundraising and participation records.

“Katherine, on behalf of the South Orange Performing Arts Center I want to thank you for driving our record-breaking 4-year capital campaign and our annual fundraising gala. You gave us all the tools so we can implement on our own next time. You are big part of the reason why SOPAC has been voted the Best Small Performing Arts Center in New Jersey. I simply cannot recommend you enough!”

Paul Bartick, Board Chair
