Live streaming

Tiltify is an online platform specifically created for online fundraising that enables supporters to donate to a live stream.

Tiltify provides the tools to engage with donors and raise more money for life-saving research such as:  

• Baked-in incentives - Tiltify has incentive based features to create rewards, challenges, polls and milestones that drive donor activity 

• On-screen alerts - give your donors instant recognition while they keep track of the fundraising excitement 

• Schedules - keep your donors up to date on your fundraising schedule so they don't miss a moment
   
• Team fundraising - create, support or join a team fundraiser to work together with friends, colleagues or supporters to maximize your donation together. 

The short answer is anything! The most common live streaming fundraisers relate to gaming. That might mean a 24-hour gaming marathon, a team event or a world-wide tournament.  

Other supporters of Kidney Research UK have live streamed:  

• Cooking classes  
• Marathon trampoline session  
• Shaving their head  
• Running a marathon!  

The power of streaming allowed these supporters to engage, entertain and incentivise their donors live, raising more money than they otherwise would have!  

You can link any of these platforms to your Tiltify page: 

• Twitch  
• YouTube
• Facebook Live  

Live streaming is easy-peasy. The basics:  

• A computer or smart phone with a camera and microphone  
• Internet access  
• An account on a streaming channel such as Twitch, Youtube or Facebook  
• Your Tiltfy or JustGiving fundraising page to overlay on your stream.  

Each platform requires slight variations in the software you might need.
