Strong together: Koalect & RaiseNow shape the future of fundraising!
Dear RaiseNow Community, it is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce that Koalect and RaiseNow, two pioneers in the field of digital fundraising, are joining forces! You already know us. But who exactly is Koalect and why are we so excited about this merger? Let's find out together.
Koalect: Where technology & community merge
Koalect, based in Belgium, has made a name for itself by helping organizations engage and mobilize their communities through digital fundraising and crowdfunding. It is more than just a platform. Koalect provides the very tools that make it possible to organize fundraising campaigns. These are of great benefit not only financially, but also in terms of community building. Personalized crowdfunding platforms can be created that enable peer-to-peer fundraising, event fundraising and much more. It is Koalect's versatility that allows it to run different types of fundraising and community engagement campaigns that are instrumental in boosting brand presence in the digital space while raising the necessary capital for essential projects.
AHA!
Peer-to-peer fundraising, also known as P2P fundraising, is a method of fundraising in which individuals are motivated to raise money for an organization by conducting their own fundraising activities within their personal network. It is a decentralized and at the same time very personal approach to fundraising. This approach to fundraising allows organizations to exponentially increase their reach by using their supporters' networks to raise awareness of their cause, attract new supporters and generate additional funds. At the same time, it gives supporters the opportunity to contribute in a personal and meaningful way to support a cause they care about.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Storytelling: authentic & effective
Koalect understands that in the digital age, effective communication with stakeholders needs to be done through various online channels. They have developed a platform that helps organizations go beyond fundraising to tell their stories authentically and effectively, while building a strong and engaged community. An engaged community is so valuable in fundraising because, above all, it builds trust in the organization or cause. People tend to be more likely to donate when the information or request comes from someone in their own network. In addition, an active and supportive community creates a dynamic that can raise not only funds but also awareness for a cause. The community can also act as a multiplier by spreading the message to their own networks, which in turn can generate more supporters. Therefore, a community not only acts as a support group, but also as an important tool for raising awareness and expanding networks.
Why is the association so important to us?
Sounds like a perfect fit, doesn't it? We think so too! The merger of RaiseNow and Koalect is more than just a merger of two companies. It is a symbiosis of experience, expertise and a shared vision to redefine and develop digital fundraising in Europe .

Together, we are even better positioned to deliver offerings that are not only powerful and technologically advanced, but also flexible enough to meet the ever-changing needs and expectations of the digital audience.
RaiseNow's change makers will benefit significantly from Koalact's strong peer-to-peer product to empower their community with self-service fundraising campaigns and enriched campaigns for physical and virtual events. This includes ticket sales and merchandise sales.
