FIVE Event Center is a historic Uptown Minneapolis venue for fundraisers, nonprofit galas, donor receptions, benefit dinners, auctions, award programs, and community-focused events. With a dual-level layout, built-in bars, AV support, catering partners, and on-site planning guidance, FIVE helps nonprofit teams create events that feel polished, organized, and welcoming for guests.

A Historic Venue Built for Donor-Focused Events

Fundraising events need to do more than fill a room. They need to welcome guests, support conversation, create a clear program moment, and make the organization’s mission easy to understand. FIVE gives planners a distinctive setting with enough flexibility to support formal galas, casual receptions, seated dinners, silent auctions, live appeals, and sponsor-centered events.

How Fundraisers and Galas Flow at FIVE

A fundraiser at FIVE can be structured around the natural movement of the building. Guests can arrive, check in, and gather for cocktails or conversation before moving into dinner, remarks, awards, an auction, or a giving moment. The dual-level layout creates separation between reception energy and program moments while keeping the event under one roof.

Support for Program, Auction, Reception, and Guest Experience

FIVE offers AV capabilities, sound support, a projector and screen, lighting, wireless internet, tables, chairs, and event staff support. These features can help with presentations, sponsor recognition, awards, mission videos, donor appeals, check-in, auction displays, and guest comfort throughout the evening.
