The Dish on: winwinapps

The Dish highlights clients doing good work and worth a closer look.

Anna Palmer (@winwinapps), founder of winwinapps, is a connection powerhouse. Her beautiful web-based application allows organizations to set-up and promote events that collect funds. Whether for an auction, black-tie gala, golf tournament or basically any type of fundraising effort, the application lets you collects funds, manage tickets, send promotional emails and keep track of all. AND its basically FREE to use.

As winwin puts it:

winwin is a simple, web-based toolkit that takes the headache out of running a nonprofit, freeing you up to do the work that really matters. We offer online, live and silent auctions – they’re easy to set up and they handle all the details for you (including processing payment and nagging walkout bidders). There’s also free email, with no limit on the number of subscribers or emails you send. Collect gifts and process donations securely; find out what your supporters are thinking with our customized, free survey builder, and register supporters and process tickets online.

The app lets you customize your email promotions to your brand, and offers a collection of styles that fit your event.

That’s where I come in. Anna and I have collaborated on a number of ready-made styles that might appeal to particular event planners and organizations. For instance, just in time for summer, I created a couple of golf-related themes to choose from for the busy tournament season. There are also assorted wine, green and natural themes to choose from. More are coming, and you can always further customize a ready-made theme to your taste.

Why I’m recommending winwin

I’m recommending winwinapps to my clients who routinely use other fund collecting services like Cvent, PayPal, etc because it just makes sense:

1. You can send out beautiful requests, not just links to ugly drag-n-drop sign up forms
2. The donate, survey and auction forms are easy to build
3. Webstacks are easy to navigate for your recipients
4. There are no hidden fees
5. Your guests or donaters don’t have to register for anything or sign up for an account
6. You aren’t given ugly Donate Here buttons for you website, just link to your winwin
7. Its YOUR brand
8. Its easy and basically free

Check out winwinapps before organizing your next fundraiser, charity event, gala, auction or golf tournament.

We hope to begin collaborating to bring a totally branded option for campaigns. Your event, your brand.
Its a winwin!
