In the wake of the current pandemic fundraising events are increasingly going virtual- with the fundraising landscape changing, fundraising platforms need to change too. To help your fundraisers adapt to the new virtual landscape, we’ve added video livestreaming to our fundraising platform Momentum P2P.

Empower your fundraisers to hold a video game fundraiser, share their livestream via Momentum to Facebook, hold a virtual fundraising challenge such as a readathon or a physical challenge, host a Q/A, provide regular live sessions to prospective and current donors, virtual charity run, auction, celebration fundraiser, and more!

Welcome to Next Gen Fundraising

We’ve built Momentum to be as streamlined as possible – effortlessly set up your fundraising page, livestream, and begin to generate real-time community engagement by streaming from anywhere! Watch on your livestream as your fundraising goal bar updates, users engage in a built-in livestream chat, and viewers enter the livestream. Your Fundraising Page transforms from a static page to a live video fundraising broadcast with the click of a button.
