Add a Livestream to your fundraiser to boost donor engagement.
Adding a Livestream to your fundraising Campaign helps you reach a broader audience, engage with your donors in creative ways, and raise more money. You can add a Livestream to any Campaign, including A-Thons, live Events, online Store, and Raffle or Sweepstakes drawings.
Ways to Use Livestreaming
- Host live Events that showcase speakers, present awards, or provide live entertainment.
- Stream competitions like pushup-a-thons or spelling bees.
- Hold Raffle or Sweepstakes drawings and reveal the winners in real time.
- Run an Auction and let viewers bid during the Livestream.
- Host sales that walk your audience through the offered Store items, QVC-style.

Encourage Donor Participation
Consider adding elements that help donors feel directly involved with your cause:
- Trivia that allows donors to answer from home and see the results onscreen.
- Surveys that let everyone share their thoughts and opinions.
- Featured donation amounts that encourage donors to give at a designated level and show exactly how their gift will impact your goals.
- Spotlight feature that draws attention to Auction items, Raffle prizes, or Store items to build excitement and boost sales.
- Live donation and comment feed that lets you thank donors on the spot and inspire more giving.
