What We Do: Events Management 

OAI has managed charitable events in more than 50 cities nationwide ranging from formal black-tie galas, award dinners and intimate gatherings at embassies and private residences to conferences, week-long community festivals and sporting events, such as golf and charity basketball tournaments.

We produce more than 20 significant events annually with expense budgets that range from $50,000 to more than $1 million and raise funds ranging from $300,000 to over $3 million.  Our services include the management of all or distinct parts of event strategic planning, marketing and fundraising, and event production. 

Based on well-developed models and processes, OAI has partnered with over 100 organizations to raise more than $175 million through events since 1991.

The key to any successful fundraising event for non profits is through sound strategic planning, proven marketing practices and seamless production management.
