Shake Up Your Fundraising Event and Raise £650k!

Posted by Tim Stansbury on 1 July 2015

We’ve helped 800 charities raise over 20 million in the last 12 months, which is an incredible fact to shout about to say the least. This year is looking to be just as eventful, supporting some of the biggest charity events in the third sector including major galas and dinners.

However, charity events don’t have to follow the conventional gala format to raise a substantial amount. 2015 has seen us successfully support numerous fundraising events that have taken the form of a clay-shoot, comedy marathon, golf day and the list (as you can imagine) goes on.

Uniquely, our tech can be adjusted to events big or small, offering stand-alone online solutions, payment integration, lot provision and more. Remember that were always happy to take the weight off your shoulders when it comes to making sure the technology is running smoothly and to ensure your event raises as much as possible on the night. Giving you more time to concentrate on other elements of the event, like an unruly intoxicated DJ for instance!

A good example was the recent event at Windsor Races for CLIC Sargent. A spectacular day of guests enjoying the thrill of the races, and the highs and lows that come with it. CLIC Sargent strategically decided to integrate some crucial fundraising initiatives and specifically Givergy technology, resulting in raising a phenomenal 650k! Our technology was effectively incorporated in and around the horse-racing, tablets were distributed on the tables and in the main room, keeping the focus on the racing as well as raising a substantial amount for an incredible cause, turning the event into the ideal fundraising setting.

“We are delighted to have worked with Givergy on what was a record-breaking fundraising event for us. We were fortunate enough to have some amazing prizes donated, and the guests loved the experience of interacting with the handsets during the evening and out-bidding each other. I was amazed and delighted to be told by our Givergy event manager Monica that wed already reached our silent auction target by 8:30pm!” Alice Pink – Event Manger, CLIC Sargent
