Even before COVID hit, live streaming was increasing in popularity. It allows you to connect with your supporters in the moment in a way that feels authentic.

Picking A Fundraising Platform

SheJumps is an organization whose mission is to get women and girls involved in outdoor activities, and they chose to do a climb. It both raised money and fulfilled its mission.

If you want to make something more accessible, Yeah! Yoga created an incredibly fun and accessible challenge: each day participants would take a photo of one yoga pose. It got a ton of community engagement, brought attention to their work, and brought on individual fundraisers.

Pre Recording Vs. Live Content

• Register walkers and assign bibs and T-shirts
• Print event schedules
• Print race day registrations for day-of participants  

If you want to have a successful live stream, you’ll want to choose whether to record some of your content in advance or whether to do it all live. It can be very helpful to pre-record some elements of your program because that reduces technical issues. If you’re planning to have a message from your Executive Director, or a story about a client, pre-recording can be a life saver.
