"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

The pledge to the Community Action Project of Tulsa County provides matching funds for a state pilot program to expand the organization’s early-learning centers for children of low-income families.
