OneCause Novemeber 2017 Newsletter

We hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving with family and friends. In this season of thanks – thank you for the privilege to support your causes.

As we look forward, we all know a generational shift is here. Millennials are now the largest generation, and stand to inherit $30 trillion dollars in the biggest wealth transfer in history. Their habits, behaviors and preferences will shape everything – especially philanthropy.

So how do we reach and engage them? We work together to create new fundraising approaches to meet them where they are. 

At BidPal, we continue to innovate our core mobile platform to engage donors in new ways. We’re excited to journey into social fundraising and competitive giving. As we head into 2018, our team is beta testing a new tool with a local hunger relief cause – Second Helpings. This fundraising experiment provides us with new insights and ideas. PS – we are 100% to goal!

More to come on this new tool – so stayed tuned. Together we can move the work of fundraising forward!

Best,
