that enables users to see at a quick glance a
comprehensive listing of hundreds of events, their
sponsors, locations, times, cost, audience
size, contact phone numbers, and a direct link to members' webpages.

In 1992 the Charlotte Chamber, the Arts & Science Council, the United Way
of the Central Carolinas, the Foundation for the
Carolinas, the National Society of Fundraising
Executives, WTVI-42 and the Charlotte Convention
and Visitors Bureau (Visit Charlotte) started this comprehensive
long-range community calendar. As Charlotte was
growing, it was impossible for organizations and
businesses to keep up with all the varied, and
increasingly numerous, events. Too many events
were scheduled on the same date with one or more
groups not making the needed/expected revenues.
Often there was a poor audience showing.
These organizations combined their efforts and
developed the Master Community Calendar. To our
knowledge there is no other calendar in the
country, developed by non-profit organizations
and businesses, working together to merge all of
the community's events and activities.
Mission Statement: The mission of the Master
Community Calendar is to provide a comprehensive
up-to-date event calendar reflecting the
activities of non-profit organizations and
at-large community events; to aid non-profit
charitable organizations in researching the most
advantageous date for maximum audience
participation and fundraising; to aid in the
promotion of all events.
The Master Community Calendar is located at The
Johnston YMCA building in NODA and can be reached by phone
or e-mail.
Two levels of membership are available:
Business subscribers receive a full "rolling"
year (12 months) every 4 to 5 weeks. Non-profit
organizations - tax-exempt 501(c)3 - receive a full
"rolling" year (12 months) calendar every other month.

The scope of the Master Calendar is most unusual.
Organizations and businesses use this resource to plan events
ensuring there are no conflicts for revenue and
audience. By seeing all of the various activities
occurring, the optimum date selection can be made.
Also, the Calendar promotes increased awareness of
fundraising events and other regional activities.
Businesses subscribe to the Master Community
Calendar for vending, scheduling, entertainment,
client planning, promotion, networking and
contribution purposes.
The Master Community Calendar covers the entire
spectrum of local events, fundraising,
performances, seminars, etc. Think of the
Calendar as a long-range planning and resource
tool and a time saver. Also important, event planners
(both business and non-profit) do not have to call
"the world" to find out what is going on and when.
Charlotte's Master Community Calendar is the only source for
receiving comprehensive event information beyond a
short period of time. The Calendar goes through 2023.
