The Change Foundation: How We're Using Give as you Live Donate Fundraising Pages

In the midst of a global pandemic, Give as you Live Donate supported The Change Foundation in a multitude of virtual fundraising events. From quiz nights and gin tasting to an innovative Moto GP Circuits Challenge utilising our Strava integration, read on to see how The Change Foundation benefitted from a Give as you Live partnership.

What virtual events have you utilised the GAYL fundraising pages for? 

"We have utilised the pages for a variety of different fundraising events and challenges, these have been; Big Steps Challenge, Moto GP Circuits Challenge as well as quiz nights and gin tasting events."

What communication channels did you use to promote your fundraising events?

"We used a variety of different communications channels such as; our Ambassadors network and newsletter, social media channels including Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn, The Change Foundation monthly blog and The Change Foundation website."

How have the donations raised through the fundraising pages supported the charity’s work so far?

"The donations through the platform have enabled us to continue to deliver our life-changing work. The great thing about the Give as you Live platform is that we can run targeted events and challenges for specific programmes which we can align with key programme highlights. The other great thing is it doesn’t have to be project-specific and we can raise important unrestricted funding for the charity as a whole enabling us to develop our innovation fund giving young people more opportunity to develop."

Could you provide us with an overview of the experience your charity has had using the Give as you Live Donate fundraising pages? 

"Give as you Live Donate's fundraising pages are easy to set up which is helpful when we have multiple activities gong on at one time. The pages have been designed so they are easy to navigate and clear to see who, how and when people have donated. For me, I also love how easy it is to reconcile what you have fundraised."

What was the key service that Give as you Live Donate supported you with above any other fundraising provider? 

"We love working with Give as you Live Donate. You build a relationship with the Give as you Live team, with other platforms it can feel like you are on your own a lot of the time but with Give as you Live, you are directly working with and supported by the team. They provide guidance, skills sets, knowledge and materials to enable you to achieve the best results possible across all the platforms they offer."

As the world - and hopefully the world of fundraising - returns to normal, Give as you Live Donate is committed to helping charities smash their fundraising goals with innovative solutions to common problems, simple reporting, and no set-up or monthly fees.
