Charity event registration and online fundraising pages integrated for cost effectiveness.

Quite reasonably charities want quick and easy to complete event registration forms to reduce the chances of anyone not completing the event application process. The belief is once the participant is registered you can then market “How to become a fundraiser” to them, in the hope that they bring in more revenue than their event entry fee alone.

This two-phase approach could mean you are missing out on converting event participants into vital fundraisers. 

The FUSE™ integrated event registration and online personal fundraising page set up means that in one simple process your entrants automatically become your fundraisers, armed with their own personal fundraising page.

The event registration and integrated online fundraising module provides:

• a control panel for charities to set up event details and application forms
• automatic URL generation for each event so you can publish the event on any website or use the URL anywhere with a direct link to the application form
• full reporting of people entered, team members, fees paid etc
• capacity counters so events are not over subscribed
• automatically generated charity branded fundraising pages ready for the event entrant to use as soon as they have completed their event registration.

The advanced control panel for event set up permits charities to: include merchandise; have variable pricing for different categories of application; set mandatory fields; add drops down selections, text fields and include special messages to event entrants. 

The event entry and fundraising process is simple:

1. Your event participant completes an event entry form
2. Then completes the personal fundraising page details
3. Pays for their event entry 
4. Sends out the details of their new fundraising page to family, friends and colleagues.

The benefits to the charity include:

• automating manual process for event entries
• the assurance that all your event entrants have your charity branded fundraising page
• statistics to track each event entrant’s activities from sign up through to completion of fundraising for the event
• event participant data can be seamlessly integrated with your fundraiser/donor database.

The benefits to charity event participants include:

• event registration and online fundraising page set up all in one place, in one simple process
• a fundraising account which can hold all their events with the charity
• news feeds from the charity on their fundraising account highlighting new fundraising events and special appeals.

One barrier to success is the challenge corporate fundraising partners face when trying to administer fundraising events in a cost effective way.  For example, when a corporate partner is setting up a Dragon Boat event or an Abseil, they can find it quite daunting. This can result in expensive outsourcing or even the event idea being abandoned altogether. 

AltaContact provides charities with a white label online event registration and fundraising platform. Charities can make this available to corporate fundraising partners absolutely free of charge and knock down potential barriers to successful fundraising.

How can iPhone App Development help your Charity?

Charities can use iPhone apps in many different ways and a few are already harnessing this exciting new medium.

For example, medical charities like the National Society for Epilepsy are using iPhone apps to give information on medical conditions. And Water Aid have developed an iPhone app to provide helpful information and to promote fundraising through their ToiletFinder app.

Other charities, are using iphone apps as part of a multi-platform fundraising drive, a good example here was the Haiti earthquake disaster who saw good results utilising this method.

Charity iPhone Apps can be developed to suit any number of needs.

You can create truly interactive awareness of your brand. For example set up a new app with a game related theme to promote your cause. Or ceate an app for your latest campaigns which opens up a new way  to motivate existing fundraisers and donors, keeping them informed and engaged.

The range of the iPhone’s features mean that you can create truly touchy feely applications to engage users.  In much the same way social networks such as Facebook and Twitter allow you to reach out to your community, iPhone apps also allow you to communicate with your community in an engaging and innovative way.

There are many benefits for charity management too.  For example iPhone apps can be used to deliver facts and figures 24 x 7  so management is kept up to date and informed before making decisions.

At AltaContact our experienced iPhone app developers work with you to create interesting, appropriate and profitable apps.
