RealDecoy has a long history of community involvement, a natural extension of our fundamental company value of caring.
In 2003, RealDecoy created a service called “RealAuction” which allowed charitable organizations to run online auctions. By not charging fees on money raised and providing hosting and support at no cost, RealDecoy helped participating non-profit groups raise $1.2M in just 3 years. Throughout the following years, RealDecoy has worked with non-profit organizations in education, health, and arts & culture sectors to build and maintain healthy and effective fundraising strategies. Organizations like CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario), Carleton University, Dalhousie University, Colleges and Institutes Canada, and Yukon Arts Centre.
Using this experience, RealDecoy created Make Giving Happen to help organizations transform their digital giving by unifying crowdfunding initiatives and traditional giving programs. We help solve digital giving challenges through strategy development, digital marketing, analytics and web services.
