Meetup organizers are constantly creating events that bring communities together—whether it’s for yoga classes, walkathons, hikes, or dinner parties. However, many organizers face financial challenges in sustaining these events and supporting their groups. They needed a simple, effective, and compliant way to raise funds from their members without complicating the event planning process. The challenge was to provide a feature that could seamlessly integrate with Meetup’s platform, enabling attendees a way to 'give back' and organizers to collect funds easily while keeping the focus on their events✨🤝.
By partnering with Pledge, Meetup introduced a seamless fundraising feature that allows attendees to 'say thanks' and organizers to easily raise money directly through their event pages. With just a click, organizers can activate fundraising, making it straightforward for members to contribute financially (learn how easy it is to get started through this walkthrough video). Since its launch, over $621,000 has been raised from 27,000+ donors to support various group activities, showing the success of this partnership 🚀👏. This integration simplifies the donation process and boosts member engagement, encouraging individuals to invest in their communities. By providing a reliable way to fundraise, Meetup ensures that organizers can maintain and grow their events, fostering stronger connections within their groups 💜.
At the end of a great Meetup event, it’s common to feel inspired, connected, and excited for your next event. This warm fuzzy feeling wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of a Meetup group organizer who plans events and brings people together. Now, there’s a new way to show your support for organizers and keep your groups active: group Fundraising on Meetup.
