The Rise of Virtual Fundraising During Covid-19

Prior to 2020 the fundraising world was mostly a world of events, galas, dinners, ticketed events, in-person auctions and getting dressed up to give money to causes that piqued your interest. However, in a span of only a few months, most of our fundraising industry was trading in their suits, ties and cocktail attire for sweatpants and remote work environments, leaving in-person fundraising opportunities scarce. The fundraising industry took a plunge and the resources available for virtual fundraising activities were either antiquated or non-existent.

Though many events have returned, the concept that most fundraising technology is outdated has remained. The lack of innovation in the fundraising industry leaves many nonprofit organizations continuing to rip off old school raffle tickets, leaves others without options in a primarily cashless world and has forced plenty to close their doors.

Working together, we can bring the ease and excitement back to the fundraising industry without having to revamp our wardrobes and attend chicken dinners and pancake breakfasts.
