Any kind of a-thon you can dream up (Hack-a-thons! Art-a-thons! Horse-riding-a-thons!) can be created with Eventgroove Fundraising. Our unique ‘pledge-per’ functionality gives you the ability to assign any unit of measure to your a-thon. Jog-a-thons can take pledges per mile. Spell-a-thons can take pledges per word.

Campaign organizers or individual participants can enter activity results into the Eventgroove Fundraising system at any point during or after the fundraiser. For example, a person participating in a spell-a-thon would add the number of words he or she spelled. That way, the system can calculate results and charge donors for their pledges. Results don’t need to be recorded at the same time, which means participants may enter results when they are finished—handy if your a-thon runs for an extended period of time.

When the campaign ends, you’ll need to confirm that all activity results are in to finalize your a-thon. Once you’ve finalized, the system will calculate each supporter’s total donation based on what they pledged and the activity results entered. Then, the system will automatically charge each donor’s credit card with the amount, followed by a receipt and a thank-you email to donors.
