This year marked some unique stream events with A-list film, TV and music stars. Brendon Urie livestreamed for 24 hours to raise funds for his new Highest Hopes Foundation. Stephen Colbert teamed up with Critical Role to play Dungeons & Dragons for Red Nose Day and Emilia Clarke teamed up with Jacksepticeye to raise funds for her organization SameYou. These fundraisers all showed the power of the communities on these digital platforms like Twitch and Youtube as well as the unique engagements you can have during these streamathons to interact and educate about your cause.
Coming in 2020 Tiltify will be launching "DIY on Tiltify" which will be a venture into allowing the unique engagement tools that drive the success of Tiltify livestream fundraisers to be used by those who do not livestream. New campaign pages will be unveiled that will allow anyone doing any type of fundraising to access tools such as polls, rewards and milestones. This will expand Tiltify's offering to more traditional fundraising programs.
"We have seen the power of engaged fundraising through livestreams and now we have demand to expand that technology to all fundraising programs," said Tiltify CEO Michael Wasserman. "Millennials and zoomers want to engage more and build the relationships between fundraiser and donor. Our tools allow that to happen and we want that to be accessible to all types of programs, so people don't feel excluded from participating and can be creative with how they fundraise."
In 2020 Tiltify will also be launching several exciting new features to expand options for fundraisers even further.
