Event.Gives Enables Nonprofits Across the Country to Raise Funds Via Live Video Streaming Fundraising Events

EVENT.GIVES ENABLES NONPROFITS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO RAISE FUNDS VIA LIVE VIDEO STREAMING FUNDRAISING EVENTS 

DURING COVID-19

Charleston, S.C.- April 29, 2020 – As millions of nonprofits across the world are faced with canceling their fundraising events during COVID-19, software entrepreneurs Patrick Bryant and Sam Staley have found a way for these organizations to easily transition to virtual giving. Bryant and Staley are the Co-Founders behind Event.Gives, a revolutionary event management software that enables nonprofits and other organizations to engage their audiences around the globe by hosting live video streaming events, auctions, and more. Bryant and Staley have enabled over 1,000 nonprofits, ranging from the Children’s Heart Foundation to The ALS Association, to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars and continue their missions to serve others.

“The climate and culture of fundraising has been completely turned upside down in the past month or so,” shares Bryant. “It has been so amazing to see organizations from California to Charleston utilize Event.Gives to host some unbelievably creative virtual campaigns to meet their fundraising goals.”

Charleston Collegiate utilized Event.Gives to host a virtual silent auction this month that engaged attendees across the country, raising over $118,000 for the community’s youth. Dan Whisenhunt, CEO of the California Deer Association, a wildlife conservation nonprofit, was also able to host an event this month with over 300 people, raising over $75,000 and almost doubling their best in-person event to date. 

“Event.Gives allowed us to replicate one of our live events with a very quick turn around,” shared Whisenhunt. “We had a great response and are already looking forward to hosting another event with the platform in a few days.” 

Event.Gives enables companies to collect data and engage attendees before, during, and after their event with a full suite of automated fundraising tools. The platform makes auctioning items easy with mobile, remote, real-time bidding, and automated outbid notifications that result in increased engagement. The Event.Gives Marketplace also allows event organizers to search for items like travel, gift certificates, event tickets and other experiences to auction off.

Event.Gives takes just three percent of donations (up to a max of $3,000) for each campaign. There are no hidden fees or extra charges.
