Paddle Raise
Fund-a-need
Nearly every event incorporates an “ask,” usually called a fund-a-need, fund-a-cause, or paddle raise. Sometimes, there is no auction at all – only a paddle raise. The goal of a paddle raise is to create a snowball effect, a cascade of hands or paddles in the air that not only results in the most funds possible raised for the organization, but as much participation as possible, as well as the overarching feeling that the attendees have worked together as a community to fund a cause important to them.
Charles works with numerous tech partners and whether you’re running a paddle raise with physical paddles, donor cards, iPads, or mobile devices, he can help you to implement best practices that result in maximum return in a way that is fun and enjoyable for your attendees.
His goal is always to engage every attendee at a level that is comfortable to him or her.
