FUNdraising for Community

In-person events always provide the opportunity for excitement and community. At their recent Spring Benefit, Almost Home, Inc learned just how engaging Games and Paddle Raises can be. Using technology to save time on administrative tasks, they could focus their energy on the event itself. This article will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Almost Home Inc. put together their most successful event to date and strengthened their donor relationships.

Quilting for Community

What could be better than raising money to support not only your membership but your community? Blue Valley Quilters Guild does exactly that with the funds they raise. Ibby Rollert and Lynn Droege shared how they used Auctria to help them fulfill their mission. Running an online auction sounds easy, but what are all the things that made it a success?
