"Our Annual Gala typically is our largest fundraiser of the year in Minneapolis. With COVID-19, we had to get back to our roots and really evaluate what was key in making a virtual gala a reality that was true to GiGi’s Playhouse."
“The mood was pretty high after the live appeal, so we didn’t want to sour it with a tedious checkout, With OneCause, checkout was flawless. We received only good comments from all the people who attended and volunteered at the event.”
“We know how important it is for parents who have lost a child to know they are not forgotten, We wanted to create a wide-spread campaign that ensures their name and legacy lives on.”
"There’s no other way to classify this first-year event than as a huge success, We’ve certainly gained a group of engaged supporters that were previously unfamiliar with the work United Way is doing for the Austin community.”
“We created the #SayTheirNameChallenge to empower people to talk about children that have passed away, keep their memory alive and ensure no child’s name is ever forgotten, We were able to pull off the campaign and increase awareness thanks to the support from the OneCause team.”
"The mobile bidding interface was pretty similar for the users and attendees. On the backend, however, the simplicity of OneCause was a no-brainer. OneCause simply makes our jobs easier; so we have more time to focus on fundraising and trying new ideas."
“While the cause is more important than ever, the ride has truly transcended our wildest dreams, It’s not just people passionate about what we’re doing anymore. The culture of the ride itself is one of community, kindness, and support. It’s a contagious environment that brings together a deeply loved community and raises vital funds to support an important mission.”
“It was so easy to turn on for our donors, We were able to say ‘here is the sponsor, here is the match, now go do your thing.’ The community was so enthusiastic and willing to share with their networks. With this easy to use but very sophisticated technology, our team can spend more time on delivering a great ride, increasing sponsorships and attracting new supporters.”
"Over the last 5 years, we’ve increased the number of donors 146% and grown our donations by 147%. I absolutely attribute that growth to peer-to-peer and Ambassador Fundraising.”
"OneCause and their DIY mobile bidding offering helped us with registration, bidding, and made check-out a breeze for bid winners, Typically, we have to do check-out manually, which takes at least 30 minutes as we have to collect bidder sheets and determine whether an individual won more than one item. This year, check-out was ready as soon as the mobile bidding ended, and we were able to keep the auction open for longer, ultimately bringing in more donations.”
“I loved the iPads, my experience with another mobile bidding company was laptop based. The OneCause iPads gave us the flexibility we needed to move and register guests where they were."
"OneCause took our fundraising from walking to running to flying."
“We wanted a community event to help everyone heal. It was a way to come together, take action and raise needed funds for the families."
"We were able to set up our Annual Giving campaign quickly and create a simple, engaging giving experience that our donors and parents were looking for from us. The Text to Give platform is so intuitive and easy-to-use."
“We wanted to fully use the mobile platform, Our goal was to weave competitive bidding and giving throughout the event, to engage more donors.”
