Charitybuzz needed a way to ensure that all their fundraising activities complied with professional fundraising registration requirements across multiple states. Given their wide-reaching platform, which enables users to bid on and/or buy high-value bespoke experiences and items, maintaining compliance was critical to avoid potential legal or operational challenges. They also needed a trusted partner to handle the disbursement of funds to the various nonprofits they support, ensuring that every transaction followed legal guidelines.
By partnering with Pledge and the Pledgeling Foundation, Charitybuzz implemented a seamless solution that manages compliance and handles disbursements to 501(c)(3) organizations. Pledge ensured Charitybuzz could legally operate its platforms across all necessary states, taking on the responsibility of professional fundraising registration. This allows Charitybuzz to focus on running auctions for charities like the Entertainment Industry Foundation, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and Oceana. Through Pledge’s platform, donations are processed efficiently, and the funds raised are promptly directed to the nonprofit beneficiaries, ensuring that every purchase contributes to a greater cause without compliance worries.
Our partnership with Pledge has been invaluable- not only have they helped us solve critical compliance challenges across state lines, but they’ve done so with a shared vision and commitment. This is more than just a business relationship; it’s a true partnership rooted in aligned values and a mutual dedication to making an impact. We’re grateful to have Pledge by our side.
