- Pledge-a-thons (per-mile, per-lap, per-anything)
Voting
Voting contests turn engagement into donations
Run a “best photo,” “ugly pet,” or talent-show vote where every ballot is a donation. Voting contests are a low-lift way to re-activate dormant supporters between bigger campaigns.
- Unlimited entries and unlimited voters
- Per-vote donation amount you control
- Public leaderboard with real-time updates
- Embed on your existing site or run on a Tofino-hosted page
