Events are about bringing people together and cultivating a sense of belonging.

What's a better way to make guests feel like they belong? FOOD.

Today's TFE Co. Tips are all about planning your menu.

01. GIVE PEOPLE OPTIONS
For a seated meal, offer at least 2 options with animal protein or vegan-friendly. If one or both can be made without gluten, dairy, shellfish, nuts or other allergens, even better!

02. FOOD = BELONGING
Events are about bringing people together and cultivating a sense of belonging. Food is a core part of your guest experience. Always honor dietary needs—it will make your guests feel seen and welcomed.

03. PARTNER WITH A TRUSTED CATERER
A great caterer gives you a peace of mind. Not only can they craft tasty dishes for your guests, they come with a strong team and partners who can help with rentals and other elements that make your event seamless.

If you're in Portland, Oregon, here are a few of our favorite caterers in the area: Kitchen Killa
Vibrant Table Catering & Events
Devil's Food Catering
Tamale Boy

Ah, December: a time for holidays, celebrations, and... event planning? While this month is often packed with priorities (we see you, year-end giving campaigns), it’s a great month to start thinking ahead. 📆

TFE Co Tip: Start planning your event 10–12 months in advance! Even devoting a couple hours each month will help you align with sponsors' budget cycles, maximize contributions, and fine-tune details for the most joyful guest experience. 😆

According to AP, donors gave $3.6 billion on Giving Tuesday in the U.S. — up 16% from 2023 (or about 11.9% if you account for inflation)!

Congrats to all the nonprofit fundraisers and development folks who work their buns off to connect donors to missions they believe in. We hope you got a piece of this pie - you deserve it. 💜

🌍 Land Acknowledgment - To Do or Not To Do? 🌍

We are fortunate to work with clients who advocate for equity and justice in all areas of their work, so we get asked a lot if their event should include a land acknowledgment. There is A LOT that goes into a land acknowledgment, but here are 3 tips to use as a starting point.

01. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
You gotta walk the talk. If your organization partners with Native or Indigenous communities, then by all means, YES! An acknowledgment is one of many ways you can create awareness about the local tribes in your area. If your mission or services don’t intentionally partner with Indigenous communities, focus on building those relationships first, and then revisit how to add this to your program. Otherwise, it won’t be honorable or authentic. (Oh, and please don’t ask your Indigenous partners to write a land acknowledgment for you!).

02. DO YOUR RESEARCH
Respectful land acknowledgments use the correct tribe names AND pronunciation. Remember that part of the goal is to create awareness—so you want to get the names right. One of our favorite tools for researching tribes is native-land.ca, but you can also find local resources to help you out. We recommend acknowledging tribes from where your event is happening—however, sometimes organizations serving a bigger region, such as multiple counties, will include the original tribes of all those counties.

03. OFFER A CALL-TO-ACTION
Step one: create awareness. Step two: take action! Invite your guests to support Indigenous-serving organizations, including the ones you are already partnered with. Encourage them to donate, volunteer, and foster community connections and support.

✨ Got more ideas or tips for how to best acknowledge and honor Indigenous communities? Let us know in the comments! ✨
