If your club is looking for a creative online fundraiser, check out what Rotary District 7980 in Southern Connecticut is doing. Using Eventgroove Fundraising's platform for clubs, they've adopted and launched an extraordinary all-in-one fundraising platform.
This solution is designed to provide a privately branded site for each district and for each club, which allows clubs to set up, manage and control as many fundraising campaigns as they want to, including raffles, sweepstakes, crowdfunding campaigns, online and live auctions,ticketing sales for virtual-event entry, peer-to-peer campaigns, text-to-give campaigns, and much more. They are all in this single platform.The first District 7980 program, launched in July, was the Rotary Club of Branford's raffle, called Braffle, which raised $30,000 online in only 10 days. This is fascinating and has the opportunity to re-energize the way Rotary clubs raise funds. For a demo of this platform, click here.
