165 OneCause Testimonials

“Up until this year, our auction was the ultimate low-tech event. We still used bid paddles and it was part of our charm. So getting all of our people ready to use a new platform was a priority. We did an evening test with key donors and they had fun with it.”

"Like many nonprofits, we host several special events and an annual gala, but we started to recognize we were missing out on a critical audience: women, We came to the realization that women are often the philanthropic drivers within a home, and that we needed to create an event tailored specifically to them."

"We were able to keep it simple, have fun, and connect our virtual event guests to our mission. Going virtual isn’t about all the bells and whistles find a way to differentiate yourself from other events while still staying true to your cause, and the results may just surprise you like they did us.”

“We had hoped to use the technology to collect payments for things like after-school programs and summer camp, in addition to ticketing for our annual events. But it wasn’t jazzy or easy to navigate, so no one used it.”

"Not only are we more organized with OneCause, we’ve increased the number of bids received, the number of auction items sold, and overall revenue generated."

“Trying to determine how to incorporate BidPal into our annual budget the first year was a stretch."

“At check-in we had to ask for everyone’s information again and scan their credit card."

“We really liked switching to mobile bidding for our spring event. We knew our crowd was mobile and everyone was on their phones, so Text2Give would let us connect with even more donors. It also would bring excitement to the donation appeal at the end of the luncheon."

”Because of BidPal, The FoodBank saw a significant increase in silent auction proceeds, while at the same time providing our guests with the ultimate experience for the Humanitarian of the Year Gala."

“The technology and ease of the silent auction had everyone in a great mood and eager to spend.”

“Here was a product that not only solved our problems, but had the potential to increase funds raised."

“We were particularly intrigued with the Maximum Bid feature. It’s easy for a bidder to get distracted and forget to check on their bids. By setting a maximum bid, they can set it and forget it.”

“I like gadgets. I’m an IT person. I thought there was no way it couldn’t make money."

“We were so pleased with the results that we immediately booked OneCause for next year’s ball, Paper bid sheets will not be making a comeback at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago.”

“Each rider forms a unique bond with their horse. This creates a powerful therapeutic interaction, with benefits stretching from the rider and beyond to the family. We have riders who were never supposed to feed themselves and now support themselves as they ride and we see the power of this special therapy every day.”
