3 Ways To Make An Impact In 2017

Posted by Ben Crook on 13 January 2017

With technology firmly planting its roots into the third sector and millennials becoming the driving force in 2017; its hard not to get excited about the direct impact both these elements will have on the fundraising world.

Here are 3 measurable and achievable ways to help you make your mark on the third sector in 2017:

1. Silent Auction Technology
Are you hosting a fundraising event this year? Use award-winning silent auction technology that can be tailored to your specific event to maximise your fundraising efforts. The technology is built to be simple, fun and interactive; it brings silent auctions to life with its competitive element which inevitably will help you raise more vital funds!

Tried and tested:
NSPCC used our cutting-edge technology at their fundraising event, here’s what they had to say:

The team at Givergy delivered for us yet again at the Childline Ball 2016. They provided great customer service prior to the event and on the night to our guests. We wanted to get a bit of competition going in the room by splitting it into two halves and getting the two sides competing. The Givergy team were brilliant at enabling us to do this and were able to make quick calculations whenever we wanted to announce figures throughout the evening. The team are incredibly friendly and a pleasure to work with. Amy Lancaster-Smith, Special Events Team Manager, NSPCC
