Our house concert series seeks selected Blood:Water advocates and donors to engage their friends and neighbors in an intimate fundraising gathering centered around the story of Blood:Water and a performance by a renowned artist partner. Each house concert is customized according to the host, community, artist and venue. We encourage hosts to create a special event that best suits their ideas, needs and audience. Here is a basic guideline of what makes our house concerts successful: Blood:Water provides: Electronic and hard-copy invitations to hosts’ guest list Blood:Water videos, logos and general overview resources for hosts, host committee and attendees Blood:Water artist partner Management of all travel logistics for the artist partner and Blood:Water staff Blood:Water staff member for the day/night of the event Program planning and event support Production company assistance Follow-up email and creative thank you to attendees
Hosts provide: Event venue Basic set-up area for acoustic musical performance by artist partner A guest list that can reasonably meet the financial and attendance goals (see below) Main host contact
