Live to Give — Turn Your Donor Network Into a Fundraising Moment
Built for local organizations

Your donor network
is sitting quiet.

We wake it up. Live to Give turns your existing donors, board, and community into one unforgettable fundraising moment, without a marketing team, a CRM, or a weekend of your time.

The Problem

You have the network.
You're missing the system.

i.

Your best donors are ghosts in a spreadsheet.

They gave once. They'd give again. Nobody's asked them properly and there's no system that remembers they exist.

ii.

Your board wants to help. They don't know how.

They'd share a link. They'd call a friend. They'd bring their whole network to the table. They just need the tools handed to them.

iii.

Every campaign feels like Day One.

Even after years of donors, every fundraiser starts from zero. New flyer. New emails. New scramble. No engine.

The Campaigns

Proven ways
to light up a room.

Every campaign we run is built around one of these donor engines. They're designed to turn a passive donor list into a live fundraising event.

— i. Fundraising Ladder

Watch the room climb in real time.

A live-updating display of donor names rising up the rungs as gifts come in. Built for in-room events, galas, dinners, rallies. Where social proof turns a single donation into a wave.

Your donors aren't giving quietly. They're giving visibly. They're competing. And they're pulling each other up.

— ii. Voting Campaign

Let your network recruit for you.

Pick your competitors, firefighters, board members, local celebrities. Each one rallies their own network. Every dollar is a vote. Every vote is a donation.

The beautiful part: your competitors do the marketing. They share the page. They send the texts. They recruit the donors. You watch the total climb.

The Engine

What happens when you
stop starting over.

Done-for-you. Deeper than a full-time hire. Less of your time than a Saturday afternoon.

Month 01

You exhale.

Kickoff call. One intake form. And then — silence on your end while we build. Your landing page goes live. Your link tree goes live. Your chatbot goes live. On Day 21, your lapsed donor list gets its first real ping in years.

You stop worrying. We start building.
Month 02

The pulse gets stronger.

Your systems begin to click. Messages go out consistently. Your audience starts engaging, replying, and paying attention. Small wins stack up, and momentum becomes visible. What felt like setup now feels like progress.

The rhythm is taking shape.
Month 03

The Show.

Ladder or voting. Your call. Your network lights up. Dollars come in faster than you expected. Your board finally sees what you've been talking about all year. You're not the operator anymore — you're the leader.

This is the moment you've been chasing.
Months 04—06

The engine keeps running.

Micro-campaigns fire on their own schedule. Recurring donors convert from one-time gifts. Welcome journeys run for every new name that enters the system. Monthly reports tell the story of a foundation that stopped starting over.

Then — we talk about the next six.
Who it's for

Built for the organizations
carrying the weight.

You run lean on purpose. Every dollar goes to the mission, not the overhead. Every decision comes across one desk. Every donor knows your name.

You don't need more consultants. You don't need another platform.

You need a team that runs the engine while you run the mission.
This is for you if
  • You run a foundation on a lean team.
  • Your donors know you by first name and you know them back.
  • Your board wants to help. They just need something to share.
  • You have a campaign, event, or 90-day goal on the calendar.
  • You're tired of every fundraiser feeling like starting from zero.
This isn't for you if
  • You have a full marketing and development team already humming.
  • You want a platform you log into and manage yourself.
  • You're looking for a fundraising consultant to build long-term strategy.
  • You don't have a donor base yet — we activate networks, we don't create them.
Why it works

There's an order to fundraising.
Most agencies skip it.

Three things drive donors to your organization. They all work — just not equally.

Firsti.

A warm referral.

Sarah texts her sister after your last update. Your board member emails their network. Your top donor tells their company. This is where your biggest gifts come from. Always has been. Always will be.

Cost: nothing. Trust: already built. Conversion: the highest you'll ever see.
Secondii.

Existing donor reactivation.

The donors who gave last year. The ones who came to your gala. The ones who texted you 'thank you' after a tough week. We bring them back through targeted email, SMS, and social posts that show up in their feeds where they're already paying attention — not ads they'll scroll past.

Cost: low. Trust: already earned. Conversion: where most of your real money comes from.

These two are where Live to Give focuses. We amplify them with social posting in your donors' feeds and press releases celebrating wins. The next option works — but it's where most fundraising budgets quietly die.

Thirdiii.

Paid ads.

A stranger scrolls past your ad on Facebook. Most ignore it. A few click. A few of those give. It works — but it's the slowest road, the most expensive click, and the coldest audience you'll ever talk to.

Cost: highest. Trust: zero. Conversion: lowest of the three.

So when you sit down to fix this, here's what's actually on the table.

A consultant
Builds you a 40-page strategy deck. Won't send a single text.
A platform
A login. A learning curve. A campaign that never launches.
Doing it yourself
You'll burn out your board, your team, and yourself — and still miss your number.
Live to Give
We run the engine. You run your mission.
