I think the issue is that you’re trying to reference a variable in single-event.php ($instructor_organization) which is defined in functions.php – this is because the variable is “out of scope” (see: http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php).

You’ll need something like this in single-event.php:

 the_field('instructor_organization');
// OR
echo get_field('instructor_organization');

Both output the field value. Alternatively, you could do:

 // in functions.php:
function get_instructor_org($post_id){
  $org = get_field('instructor_organization', $post_id);
  return $org;
}
// then in single-event.php:
// assuming you're in the Loop (i.e. $post variable is available)
echo get_instructor_org($post->ID);

Obviously the first way is easier, but the second gives you an idea of how variables can be passed to functions.
