“There needs to be a way to still have this sense of community and fundraising but make it online.”

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

"I love it. I’ve been promoting that to everyone I’ve talked to since. In the 90’s we would’ve called it a paradigm shift to go with something that’s a dedicated peer-to-peer tool and not an all-in-one system more of a best of breed approach. That is going to be more and more important for nonprofits large and small to go back to a world of best in breed, rather than the kind of jack of all trade mentality. It’s how we operate in the real world."

“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.”

“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.”

“We wanted to draw more attention to our silent auction and enhance the guest experience, all while easing back-end administrative duties.”
