Why We Love It
All Year Fundraising
Semper Fi activates peer-to-peer fundraising events in multiple ways. Throughout the year, they engage charity bib runners at major events (Kathy Wise shares her knowledge on Charity Bibs here).
Additionally, they needed a simple solution for all year fundraising that allows for personal event fundraisers and online solicitations. To set up was as easy as disabling the typical event features. But, just because it’s a simple event doesn’t mean you loose out on any complex features. Semper Fi still has all of the same features to create a professional website and empower fundraisers. Learn more about GiveSignup’s ability to keep fundraising available all year long.
