"The technology built the motivation. It was easy for everyone to use and gave our event a brand. The teams started fundraising fast and the energy just spread."
“Not only did it save time, but it also elevated the experience for our attendees. The check-in process was so smooth that it set the tone for the rest of the evening.”
"As we entered 2021, we needed to find a solution that would support our hybrid event goals. We have had experience with other software in the past, but it had limited functionality and did not provide us with what our event needed. We were looking for a new experience that would help our event succeed, especially as the climate around the pandemic seemed to be ever changing.”
“Our community had gone through so much between the hurricanes, earthquakes, and now the pandemic to top it off. The island was put under a complete lockdown as of mid-March. We were stymied in our fundraising efforts and we also knew that the lack of physical activity and social isolation was hard on our students because of the lockdown.”
"The advancement team felt a duty to empower and aid our school and community in the midst of COVID-19 and in the altered fundraising reality we are living in for the time being. We wanted to make sure our we didn’t stop fundraising and host events virtually in the spring of 2020 and into 2021.”
“We consider ourselves pretty fortunate. All of our large fundraising events had been completed. But it painted a difficult picture for what the next year was going to look like."
We knew that we had key constituents that wanted, and needed, to be involved with HRC. After cancelling all in-person galas, peer-to-peer fundraising seemed to be the immediate next step. We needed to engage these social fundraisers."
"We’ve used OneCause Mobile Bidding for our annual gala, but we had never thought about executing a peer-to-peer fundraising event. The opportunity presented itself, and OneCause Peer-to-Peer had all the features that would excite our donor base and reach them in a virtual world.”
"The problem was that we had really great ideas about different campaigns and virtual adaptations, but we didn’t have a clue how to execute them. So, we turned to OneCause."
"Amanda started an Autism Skates event with her skating club in 2014, where she became engaged with the autism community. When she hosted the second event in 2016, Alyssa and her brother were participants and it was the beginning of a beautiful partnership.”
“I had put my heart and soul into this event. We knew there was no way we would let all the hard work that our team put into this go by."
“Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are chronic and, often times, debilitating diseases that you can’t see from the outside. The Virtual Event Center truly gave us and our volunteers a voice and a platform to speak out about what they’re going through."
“We don’t spend much in the way of advertising, since we’d rather have funds directly benefit the charity. So, our team had to figure out how we were going to spread the word without media partners.”
“OneCause provided a turn-key solution with tried-and-true templates and case studies so we wouldn’t have to start from scratch. The interface is very intuitive and allows for easy customization down to the details."
"What did I feel in the moment we switched virtual. Uncertain, but confident we could do it. Most of our items were in the OneCause Mobile Bidding product so it was really making a checklist of the key fundraising elements that we needed to adapt to the virtual mold."
