1 Introduction
Welcome to the “Gala Theme Goldmine.”

This book is your secret tool for planning successful events that your community
will remember and talk about. Your event’s success can often come down to how much
your attendees enjoy themselves . . . and that’s where this book comes in.
Inside this book, you’ll find a collection of more than 2,400 exciting themes for your
events. There are ideas for every topic – Animals to Health Care, History to World
Religions, and many more. There’s something here for every kind of event and audience.
Why bother with a theme?
Well, a good theme is like a story. It ties everything at your event together and helps
get your message across. It also makes your event more fun and memorable, which
is key for engaging your audience and getting people to talk about you the next day.
The first part of this book will help you choose the best theme for your event. Then,
the following chapters will take you through all the themes.
The final trio of chapters in this book is a treasure trove of practical knowledge.
They’ll guide you on how to involve your board members and sponsors more deeply
in your gala. Plus, they provide savvy storytelling strategies to make your event truly
unforgettable. And these chapters come with complimentary, downloadable resources
that are not to be missed.
This book is all about making your job easier, more effective, and more fun. So jump
in, explore the ‘Gala Theme Goldmine,’ and get ready to host your best event yet.
Let’s get started!

CHRISTOPHER DAVENPORT
Author, entrepreneur, and nonprofit communication strategist, Chris
Davenport has written several influential books for nonprofit profes-
sionals: the bestselling, “Nonprofit Storytelling for Board Members,”
“Interviewing for Impact,” and “Nonprofit Storytelling Field Guide
and Journal.” Chris also co-authored “The Golden Appeal” with
Steven Screen and Josh Alcorn. These books have become essential
guides for those looking to better communicate their organization’s
story and elevate their fundraising.
Christopher’s journey began in the vibrant world of feature films
where he spent five transformative years at the onset of his career. It
was in this highly creative and narrative-driven environment that he
honed his innate storytelling abilities.
Drawing on his unique background in filmmaking, Christopher
founded the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference. Chris and his ded-
icated team have created an annual gathering that draws hundreds
of nonprofit professionals together to enhance their fundraising and
donor communication skills. The conference has rapidly gained rec-
ognition for its invaluable content, practical strategies, networking
opportunities and creative play while learning.
His hands-on approach and storytelling expertise have allowed
countless nonprofits to revolutionize their fundraising strategies,
boost donor engagement, and increase their financial support.
