NZ Based Fundraising Start Up Helping Schools And Clubs Post Covid
At the start of 2020 Raise It Fundraising, an NZ based start-up specialising in helping schools and clubs fundraise online, were getting underway to take their revolutionary online fundraising campaigns to schools and clubs around New Zealand. Then Covid19 ground fundraising to a halt.
During lockdown Raise It was able to innovate and provide a “virtual event” platform allowing fundraisers to undertake virtual challenges at home and collect fundraising sponsorship for their participation. One Auckland gymnastics club used the platform and challenged their gymnasts to perform handstands and planks at home with 20 gymnasts raising over $4,000 for the club.
Out
of lockdown Raise It returned their focus to assisting
schools with a full online campaign service. One small
country school north of Auckland took their offline
bike-a-thon and moved it on to the Raise It platform. As the
event was held straight after Covid they weren’t sure what
to expect. With the assistance of Raise It Campaign Managers
throughout the campaign they raised significantly more than
ever before. The administration overheads were substantially
less as the majority of funds were collected online and
simply deposited in their bank account at the end of the
campaign. Donations came in from all around the world to
support this small rural school.
With Raise It gone are the days of paper based sponsorship forms, collecting and counting cash, and manually reconciling totals – Raise It take the headache out of fundraising and move everything online. Their fundraising programs all lead to an easy, stress free way of raising funds for schools and clubs requiring less effort for PTA’s and committees than some of the historical fundraising activities usually undertaken. Parent’s also love the idea of fundraising online with a Raise It campaign as it allows them to easily invite family and friends from around the globe to participate without the hassle of collecting cash.
