    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.
