Trust for the National Mall Ball for the Mall

Non-Profit Gala Management, Immersive Experiences & VIP Event Production on the National Mall

Linder Global Events partnered with the Trust for the National Mall to deliver America’s Ball for the Mall 2025, a purpose-driven fundraising gala that launched a $250M campaign, featuring extensive permitting and production, immersive experiential design, and seamless VIP management beneath the Washington Monument in the lead-up to America’s Semiquincentennial.

Bringing The Experience to Life

With over a decade of partnership, Linder Global Events brought expert non-profit gala management, multi-agency logistics, and signature creativity to the 2025 Ball for the Mall. Working strategically alongside the Trust, Linder produced a two-week build and transformation of the National Mall into an unforgettable evening with 600 VIP guests, commemorating both the Mall’s stewardship and America’s approaching 250th anniversary. Linder led event design and programming in line with B Corp values, prioritizing accessible, sustainable, and inclusive experiences, as well as local partnerships and innovative activations, including immersive photo backdrops and a 360° branded booth. Robust security, accessibility, honoree management, and campaign storytelling were embedded throughout every touchpoint.
