Personal vs. Page event
There are two ways to create an event on Facebook: 1) from your personal profile and 2) from your nonprofit’s Page.

With Page-created events, you can share your event publicly and ask people to personally invite their Friends using the event invite button.
You can invite your supporters to your event directly on Facebook. Target your invites to those most interested in your events to increase your response rate. You can also alert your offline supporters via email or your website to RSVP to your events using the event URL.

You may choose to create an event on Facebook to get the word out about your cause and get supporters together at a specific time and place, or when you’re hosting a private event where you’d like to invite guests and manage RSVPs.
