INTRODUCING HYBRID FUNDRAISERs

Hybrid events are the future of fundraising. By adding a virtual fundraiser to your live event, your organization can reach a larger audience to promote your mission and raise more money.

For the past 25 years, ibidmobile.net has managed thousands of live charity events with our state-of-the-art fundraising technology. We are now using our technical expertise to seamlessly integrate the guest experience at live fundraising events with a broadcast audience. Whether participating live or through our online platform, donors can show their support for your organization and be recognized immediately for their generosity.

The ibidmobile.net hybrid fundraiser package includes staff-managed self check-in and checkout, live auction and paddle raise services, and a professionally staffed livestream production studio and presentation platform. Designed by fundraising professionals who understand the needs of nonprofit organizations, our integrated services let you focus on your guests, while we take care of the technical and administrative aspects of running your hybrid event.

LIVE Appeal / Paddle Raise

Choose either a traditional paddle raise or a textgiving.com campaign. Your auctioneer starts by making a call to action to both your on-site and online audiences.

  • Paddle Raise
    Before the event, we place personalized paddles at each table. During the appeal, on-site guests raise their paddles and the auctioneer thanks them by their bidder number. Meanwhile, broadcast viewers pledge their support by text. Our technician tracks all pledges in real time.

  • textgiving.com
    Donors text in their pledge, along with their name and a message. Each message is played on screen and acknowledged by the auctioneer.

No matter which style of appeal you choose, an on-screen totalizer keeps everyone apprised of the fundraising progress. A thank-you text message is sent to each donor, who can then checkout online.

LIVE AUCTION

During the live auction on-site bidders raise their paddles while the broadcast audience can bid by text message. The auctioneer sets the pace during the broadcast, where the bids are displayed on-screen. With our ultra low latency streaming, viewers see and hear the auctioneer in real time, keeping them engaged in the bidding right up to the final gavel.

LIVESTREAM PRODUCTION

Your livestream broadcast is engineered by a technical director who mixes the video feed from the A/V team at your live event. We mix the live feed with pre-recorded video to deliver the show through a high-definition streaming service to your broadcast audience.

Branded PRESENTATION WEBSITE

We create a dedicated website where online visitors can view your live presentation. The website includes a video player—no download required, your organization logo, sponsor logos, and a countdown clock.

Viewer Chat

Engage your virtual audience with a group chat displayed alongside the viewer. Guests can post messages with text and emojis. Our guest services manager monitors the chat for technical support questions during the broadcast.

Event Check-In

We will manage both your on-site and online check-in with our seamless technology.

On-site
Guests enjoy quick contactless check-in by scanning a QR with their phones. They receive an instant reply with their table number and a customized welcome message. Our on-site registration manager will work with you to implement any late additions or seating changes. We will assist guests who are unable to use the contactless check-in system.

Online
Broadcast viewers are asked to provide their name, email address, and phone number to check in to view the broadcast. This information helps to identify donors during the live appeal, and is invaluable for future fundraising.

LIVESTREAM REHEARSAL

We will coordinate a livestream rehearsal prior to the event.

Professional STAFFING

To ensure the best possible experience for your guests, we provide a team of professional staff to support your show.

  • On-site Event Supervisor
    Serves as your liaison for all matters related to the event, including implementing your registration updates before and during the event.

  • Livestream Technical Director
    Produces the livestream broadcast.

  • On-site Technical Manager
    Manages our on-site technology and coordinates with your on-site A/V team.

  • On-Site Production Assistant
    Assists our event supervisor on all matters related to the event.

TEXTGIVING.COm

All pledges are processed by textgiving.com, our mobile giving platform built for high-end fundraising events. Every message receives an instant response with a link to pay by credit card. Donations are processed through Stripe and deposited directly to your organization’s bank account. Stripe charges 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction. We do not charge any additional fees.

FOLLOW-UP

We provide detailed audited reports after your event and follow up with any donors who do not complete their payment by text, email, or phone.

WHAT IT COSTS

We charge a flat fee for our service based on the needs of your event. With ibidmobile.net, you never pay a commission.
