Using Live Stream for Your Company’s Charity Fundraiser

Live streams have taken the world by storm since the pandemic, resulting in the need for virtual charity events.

Hybrid events are great for corporate businesses to give back, because it allows staff and the public to form an instant connection with your business. People prefer connecting with brands in real-time through modern technologies such as live streaming, which no longer limits personal connection - no other platform or marketing strategy allows for this kind of engagement.

As live stream specialists Get Broadcasting can provide these services for your fundraising event. Variety and entertainment shows are an example of how you can create buzz for your charity fundraiser, whilst gamification through virtual events spin a unique twist on tradition.

Charities have been greatly affected since they couldn’t host fundraisers due to the pandemic restrictions which resulted in an acute funding deficit. In May 2020, The Wheel, the national association of charities, warned that up to half of the charitable organizations operating in Ireland may be forced to close within six months.

This could affect your company’s chosen charity, which in turn affects those who avail of the services. Fundraising for charities who deal with cancer research and support, children's illnesses, animal shelters and more will hugely benefit from this year’s seasonal period.

Christmas is a giving season and with that in mind think about the charity that your business supports and how you can help raise funds for them. Get Broadcasting produced a non-for-profit live streamed event for the Irish Wheelchair Association in September 2021, which fundraised over €40,000. The campaign included a bespoke website with ongoing on-screen graphics during the live stream to encourage a large number of viewers to donate.

During your event you’ll see great interaction from those attending or viewing online, through social media. In addition to providing live stream services Get Broadcasting also offers strategy, social media and content marketing expertise.

Go live. Get giving. Get Broadcasting.
