Posted by Tim Stansbury on 9 December 2015

This time of year naturally intensifies that nostalgic feeling, and here at Givergy we have plenty of incredible moments to feel nostalgic about.

In the last 12 months we have helped raise over 25 million for 850 incredible causes across the globe! With so many successful fundraising events under our belt, 1,200 to be specific, wed like to share an invaluable Christmas gift in the form of 4 fundraising ideas which will help you #RaiseMore for your brilliant cause this Christmas!

• Keep ahead of the game:

We have some incredible stats to support the fact that using fundraising technology will substantially help you increase engagement at fundraising events. Whether its online, at a community hall, or a grand venue, Givergy will maximise your fundraising efforts through our awarded fundraising products.

• Choose wisely:

Using a wide variety of auction items to help raise money for your cause is a fantastic idea. Ensure you pick items that will appeal directly to your donors as this will inevitably make the bidding more competitive, thus raising you more.

• Jump on the bandwagon:

Leverage the mammoth Christmas campaigns running on social media. For example, see our friend at John Lewis. Getting involved using their dedicated hashtags can give your charity further visibility.

• Want ACCESS to the world?

Our online platform Givergy ACCESS will leverage your charity by helping you to expose your most high-profile auction items to everyday people around the world. And, it couldn’t be simpler to set up!
