Collect Money in Atlanta

What Atlanta organizers raise money for

Atlanta runs on the event. More organizers use PayIt2 here than almost anywhere else, and the city's social calendar shows in the numbers: fundraising brunches, white parties, masquerade balls, and reunions that take over a ballroom. About seven in ten campaigns are fundraisers, and the rest sell tickets.

The brunch-and-ball circuit

The signature Atlanta campaign is the recurring social event. One fundraising brunch series has come back four years running, and each edition cleared five figures. All-white parties and masquerade balls sell hundreds of seats at a time. These are productions, not potlucks, and the host has no business working a cash box at the door.

Reunions, ATL style

Reunions are steady money here. Local high schools and university alumni groups run class reunions year after year, and family reunions, some past their 40th, pull relatives in from across the South. One link in the group thread, and everybody pays before the weekend.

Causes the city rallies behind

Atlanta gives. Senior class celebrations, community drives, and milestone fundraisers all run on PayIt2, collecting from a crowd that would rather tap a link than dig for cash.

Whatever the occasion, the setup is the same. Create a page, share it from Buckhead to the south side, and the money lands in your bank in a couple of days.
