Background:

As Girls Who Invest approached their ninth anniversary, they wished to mark the occasion with a fundraising gala that would highlight their mission, impact and vision for the future.  The gala, in addition, would be a fundraising event for 2025 and beyond.   

Opportunity:

Partner with Girls Who Invest’s executive team to create a cohesive narrative and visual identity that would affirm to the gala’s 700+ attendees that the organization should be a continued partner of choice for financial support as well as program support through internships, mentoring and beyond.   Highlight the impact of GWI to both program participants/alumni and to the broader finance industry.  

Outcome:

The Inaugural Girls Who Invest Gala proved to be an industry event that showcased the organization’s prescriptive approach to transforming the investment management industry through inclusive education, mentoring, internships and community.  T2 Strategy contributed as executive producer with advisory and oversight of on run-of-show, executive remarks, oversight of all narrative and visual aspects including video, on-site branding, speaker support and pre/post-show experience. 

• The Gala was GWI’s largest gathering of supporters in the organization’s history

• Exceeded Fundraising Goals by 300% 

• Energized and renewed commitment to support GWI 

• Consistent Narrative throughout all event touchpoints.
