Blue Sky Collaborative, a leading provider of online peer to peer fundraising software platforms, today announced the launch of Blue Sky Give, an innovative peer to peer fundraising platform for creating customized websites for promoting and managing campaigns and events. With Blue Sky Give, smaller non-profit and charitable organizations have a low-cost, flexible and straightforward platform that allows them to get their fundraising activities up and running quickly.
“Smaller organizations need to run their fundraising campaigns as efficiently as possible while maintaining a professional and polished image,” said Syam Buradagunta, president at Blue Sky Collaborative. “Blue Sky Give is an intuitive and scalable platform that meets those needs while providing them a way to create campaigns that allow supporters to raise money on their behalf through hosting or participating in events, such as walks, runs and bike races.”
Customer Testimonial for Blue Sky Give
“We partnered with Calling all Crows and Blue Sky Collaborative to run our first ever Row for Crows event, which was created to raise money and awareness for social change to improve the lives of women and girls,” shared Michael Collette, B.S., owner of Crossfit Prototype Training Systems. “Our goal was to raise $20,000 and we wouldn’t have been able to do it without Blue Sky Give. The platform was incredibly easy to use, there were no major upfront costs and the team got everything done so we could focus on running the event. In addition, the leaderboard feature created a good competitive feel, which I believe resulted in more funds raised and was a major differentiator from other platforms we have used in the past. I highly recommend Blue Sky for any and all fundraising events or programs. They’re incredible!”
