3 DAYS REMAIN: GET IN! Givsum’s Wefunder campaign officially closes December 1st. This will be the last chance to participate in the social enterprise that is Givsum! https://t.co/8hI1p77fBy We've been counting down the final 30 days with 30 reasons to invest! Here's 11-14:

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #11 EARLY INVESTMENT, GREATER REWARDS
Givsum is an early stage startup, with a low valuation. This means there’s a greater chance of making a strong return when Givsum receives an acquisition or goes public.

REASON #12 DIVERSIFY YOUR PORTFOLIO
Investing in Givsum presents an outstanding opportunity to spread portfolio risk. If you are looking to invest in different asset categories, Givsum can check the box for payments, SaaS, and B2B charitable impact.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #13 IMPACT INVESTMENT
When you invest in Givsum, you increase the potential for job creation and empower innovation. Givsum offers a unique opportunity to directly impact hundreds of charitable organizations looking to advance their mission/visions.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #14: PURCHASE POTENTIAL
Larger companies that support the charitable sector, such as Community Brands, will purchase companies like Givsum to thwart off competition and access new technology. Classy, MobileCause, and SimplyFundraisingCRM have seen acquisitions in 2022.

15 DAYS REMAIN: TIME TO GET IN! Givsum’s Wefunder campaign officially closes December 1st. This will be the last chance to participate in the social enterprise that is Givsum! https://t.co/U3fojWLlcj We've been counting down the final 30 days with 30 reasons to invest!

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #15: BRAND APPEAL
The name “Givsum” is short for “Giving Summary,” as giving data is summarized, shared, and organized for annual reports and accounting. At the same time the name is a play on words to encourage, inspire, and propel further giving.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #16: DIVERSE & PASSIONATE FUNDING NETWORK
Givsum’s investors have incredibly diverse backgrounds. What they share in common is their passion to improve and advance philanthropy, to provide better solutions for charities, and to help build a global philanthropic community.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #17: ROOM TO EXPAND WITHIN THE MARKET
Givsum’s beachhead is Rotary International clubs and districts. Beyond Rotary are 70K other service clubs and local community charities. In total there are an estimated 1.5M charitable organizations to pursue. The market is huge!

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #18: MODERN DESIGN & CUSTOMIZATION
Modern eye-catching designs and templates, along with customized description pages, allow Givsum’s customers to create and generate their own vibe helping sell their organization's mission/vision to supporters.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #19: PRICE POINT
Givsum’s affordable price point is set at $50 a month or $500 a year. For an operations platform that can run all your events, campaigns, auctions, memberships, volunteer events, emails, texts, and mini-CRM, you simply can’t beat the price.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #20: DOING WELL WHILE DOING GOOD
Givsum is a social enterprise “feel good” company. Every revenue dollar generated is the direct result of a charity advancing their mission/vision with their supporters. We can do well, while at the same time do incredible good.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #21: STICKY FACTOR
Supporter data (name, number, address, email, amount purchased, dollars donated, auction items bid on, hours volunteered, campaigns posted, dues paid, dollars inspired, etc...) With all that data, it makes it hard to leave, and we make it easy to stay.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #22: FEATURES FROM BEGINNING TO END
All money if off the table. Golf Tournaments need a website, checkout portal, invoicing, single/foursome packages, point-of-sale, donation upsells, silent auction bidding, and live auction check-out. We do it all saving time and money.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #23: SOLID BEACHHEAD:
We selected Rotary Clubs/Districts as the entry point into the philanthropic market. Why? 1) limited competition, and 2) Rotary Clubs (10-120 members) run thousands of philanthropic “projects” a year to support local causes. Onboarded 800 so far!

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #24: PLATFORM MARKETING
“Opportunity” pages built on Givsum are automatically marketed to Givsum users, can be co-marketed through adjacent Givsum organizations, and can be promoted through Givsum “parent organizations.” More marketing, more revenue.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #25: VALUE IN DATA
Data is generated as supporters engage in donation campaigns, events, projects, etc... As our data set grows, so does our ability to see trends in donor behavior and offer customers a deeper understanding for attracting new supporters.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #26: MULTIPLE REVENUE VERTICALS
Our tools and features are designed/optimized to generate revenue. i.e. campaigns, events, auctions, point-of-sale, etc... Customers can select to use these tools independently or integrate them to work together. More tools, more revenue.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #27: B2B SaaS and PAYMENTS BUSINESS MODEL • We make money in 2 ways: 1) through an annual (SaaS) subscription (paid by the charity), and 2) through a 5% + $0.30 transaction fee (paid by supporters). At VOLUME revenue numbers become exponential as well as our valuation.

[Shawn Wehan @swehan]

Reason #28: EXPERIENCED & TENACIOUS TEAM
Givsum's experienced “old guys,” have a combined total of 75 years of philanthropy, operations, and engineering experience, with a proven track record of tenacity in overcoming roadblocks going all back to the bootstrapping days of 2015.
