Before You Walk In

Any nonprofit who registers can enter the competition — build your donor chain and raise money before June 21st. The top 5 fundraising teams win a free subscription to the full Wheel of Generosity platform.

What Happens in the Room

Brian breaks down the fundraising strategy he's used across years of live events — how to structure a room, build momentum, and turn a single evening into lasting donor relationships. This isn't theory. It's the playbook.

Then you'll experience it firsthand. We raise real money for AFP's Be the Cause campaign live in the room using the Wheel of Generosity. The top 5 donors from that experience also win a free subscription.

You leave with the strategy and a software platform that puts the whole thing at your fingertips — every asset, every workflow, every relationship — ready to go for your next event.

What You'll Learn to Use

1

Create assets in minutes

Sponsorship packets, invitations, flyers, day-of materials — Dream Pilot generates them from your answers, branded and ready to share.
2

Mobilize your champions

Each team member gets a trackable link. Every introduction they make — sponsor or guest — flows through the system automatically.
3

Watch the room fill

Sponsors commit, guests RSVP, tables populate. Sponsors' guests pre-load at their table. You see the event take shape in real time.
4

Run the event

Your run-of-show, your dashboard, your live event view — everything your team needs to execute with confidence.
5

See what the event created

After the last guest leaves, Dream Pilot shows the full relationship tree — who brought who, who gave, and who to follow up with next.

Your Workshop Leader

Brian Seeley

Founder, Dream-Pilot & Wheel of Generosity

Brian spent over a decade leading nonprofit fundraising events — organizing rooms, building sponsor pipelines, cultivating donor relationships, and figuring out what actually moves people to give. Along the way he raised millions, mostly by understanding that events don't raise money — relationships do.

Then he turned that playbook into software. Dream-Pilot is the entire strategy — sponsorship packets, team mobilization, guest management, seating, relationship tracking — built into one system so you don't have to figure it out from scratch. The Wheel of Generosity is the live fundraising tool that makes the room move. This workshop is Brian handing you both.
