    💡 Important Note! The following is only for those wanting to run an official Women of Lancaster event.

    If you’d like to run an event indepenently while partnering with us in some capacity please check out the Sponsors or Allies & Partners page.

Step 1: Are we the right fit?

Part of what makes WoL events special is that we try to keep a high standard on what you can expect at one of our experiences. The first step is making sure that WoL is the best partner for your event.

If not, don’t fear! We still might be able to partner with you in some other way!

Timing

Please be aware it can take us 1-2 weeks to approve events depending on availability of the coordination board.

As a general rule, we ask for strive to market each event for a minimum of 30 days from time of approval.

We will market it through our channels which include:

  • 4K Instagram
    2K TikTok
    700+ Email List
    650+ Facebook Group
    3K+ website visits monthly
    Our local friends and partners

Approvals are also subject to our calendar availability. You do not have to have the entire event ready but a strong concept is helpful for approval.

alignment

Women of Lancaster supports the following:

  • Access to reproductive care.

  • Equity and safety for all women.

  • The pursuit of anti-racism.

  • LGTBQIA inclusion and diversity.

  • Including all ages 21+

  • Working with local businesses especially if they are woman-owned.

  • We prioritize events in the city of Lancaster.

  • De-centering alcohol from events.

  • No use of AI generated art.

We expect our hosts, events, venues and partners to share these values to cultivate a safe space for our attendees and members.

Experience

WoL differentiates itself by striving to create events that are “anti-awkward” and foster real connection and impact.

  • These are example inquiry questions:

    Is your event a woman-only concept?

  • What impact do you hope to make on your attendees and how do you hope to achieve that?

  • What efforts will you make to reduce awkwardness and uncertainty?

  • Will NA beverage options be offered?

    The experience matters a lot! When people attend a WoL we want them to a) be set up to make connections b) feel the difference.

Step 2: Financial Planning

The reality is that events can make money, and they can cost money.

Let’s get what you can expect out of the way so you can decide if this is right for you.

The Split

Here is the way revenue is generally split for an event as a rule.

15% - Transaction Fees & Website Hosting
25% - Marketing Campaign Creation
10% - (Optional) Marketing Materials
50% - 60% - Event Host(s) Proceeds

This is a general starting point that we want to be upfront about. There is some room for negotiation.

Event hosts will be expected to secure a venue and finance all event costs. It’s important to keep this in mind to determine how profitable your event has the potential to be, if that is your goal.

We only partner with hosts and events we believe in, so we are happy to assist in some capacity to ensure your success.

All ticket sales must occur over the official, Women of Lancaster website.

Proceeds to the host will be delivered within 10 business days of the event’s completion.

Marketing

One of the best parts of working with WoL is that you get access to:

A lot of the work to get eyeballs and interest in your event is done for you.

Our founder has over a decade of marketing and event coordination experience that we put to work.

If your event is approved we’ll create a digital marketing campaign which usually includes multiple graphics and Instagram posts, at least one video and mentions through out emails over the month.

We’ll use our branding to immediately identify the event as WoL. And we’ll discuss the impact of materials like flyers or pamphlets if need be.

We require 30 days of marketing to ensure best possible rate of success!

Ticket pricing

We strive to host events ranging in prices from Free 99 to super curated travel events that can be higher ticket.

Generally, most of our major social events are in the $20-$30 dollar range.

We are willing to donate our marketing services for the right free or low ticket events if you are willing to donate your hosting time.

For paid events that are official WoL events, we will need to pre-determine the best pricing structure as part of our agreement to work together.

We only partner if we believe you will succeed!

When you host with us we will be bringing all of our connections, effort and marketing expertise to the table to help your event thrive!

We want to include this section for you to consider as you create an event.

Step 3: Creating the event

Alright, let’s create an amazing experience!

Ducks in a row

Alright, you’re still here and an event with WoL is sounding good. Here’s some things you’ll want to have in a row to apply to host an event with us.

Dates & Times
Venue
Potential Expenses
Food & Beverage
Impact & Outcome

Please do not submit your event without first having done some cursory research.

Many local businesses will potentially offer their space for free. If you need assistance we may be able to help if your concept is strong otherwise.

Consider all of the angles and make sure it’s something you’re passionate about and is worthwhile for your time.

Event Proposal Form

A little polish

It’s really important to WoL that we treat guests with respect and dignity. Part of running an event is managing the emotions and logistics of your guests.

Arrive early, be prepared and be respectful to the owners of the venue. Many local Lancaster businesses are happy to offer their spaces for free in return for additional business.

Leave it better than you found it. Never assume the venue is responsible for all cleaning or basic trash pick up.

Strive to kill dead air. Guests should know where to go and what to do. Anti-awkward!

Always assume good intent and be mindful of neurodivergent guests.

If you have questions or run into snags, a WoL organizer will be there to assist!

The best part of working with WoL is you don’t have to go at it alone.

The big day

Running and attending events is really special and also a lot of work. It can be stressful for you and your guests.

But the effort is worth it!

You could be helping someone meet their new best friend, face their fears, learn something new and develop core memories.

At WoL we believe these events and creating reasons for people to connect is truly impactful.

Even more special is that we’re doing this all for women a segment of the world population who is constantly struggling for safety and equal rights.

Creating a safe space for women is truly special. Give yourself plenty of time, prepare ahead, take a deep breath and enjoy yourself.

We’ve got your back and are excited to create something great with you!
