Member for a Day auctions off once-in-a-lifetime golf experiences for good

About Member for a Day

Member for a Day is the leading golf nonprofit fundraising platform. They work with the best nonprofits to exceed their fundraising goals by auctioning off once in a lifetime rounds of golf at world-class courses. They’ve auctioned off rounds of golf at 97 of the top 100 golf courses in the country with the likes of Bill Murray, Canelo, Bo Jackson, Ken Griffey Jr., and many other celebrities and pro athletes.

Goal

Offload the complicated compliance requirements

Member for a Day had a history of running successful golf auctions, but the team was having trouble keeping up with the compliance requirements, which included things like professional fundraiser registration in over forty states, bond filings, and what seemed like endless reporting on a per-campaign basis.

Because compliance and transparency is so important to the team, they wanted to find a trusted partner that would be able to walk them through the entire compliance process. This would help them mitigate risk and feel confident that their golf auctions are being run properly.
