Givergy Gives Back Through A National Competition!
Givergy employees are renowned for taking part in fundraising initiatives, from trekking up a mountain in Stok Kangri (India) in aid of British Heart Foundation, to project managing a volunteer organisation in South Africa. Its part of their ethos to encourage and support their employees to get involved, which is why each employee is gifted 2 days a year to carry out any volunteer work or activity in aid of charity.
Their latest philanthropic endeavor, as a company, took the form of an exciting competition. Givergy gave charities across the UK the opportunity to win award-winning fundraising technology for their next event, through a competition that was launched in July 2018. The competition entailed charities to submit a few details regarding their upcoming event and cause in order to be entered.
The technology has been specifically designed to help charities not only increase the amount they raise, but increase guest satisfaction and enjoyment. As a result, charities across the globe have raised over 45million in the last 12 months through Givergy.
