Meet James. He's the CEO of Pledge, the leading charitable donation platform powering virtual, Livestream, and e-commerce fundraising. Pledge recently created the first Donate button built for Zoom, the first round-up application for Shopify, and today, over 25,000 nonprofits operating in 100 countries have received donations via Pledge. This hard-wired champion of kindness is walking us through the current state of virtual, fundraising and hybrid events and, what it all means for nonprofits in the future. And besides being just about the nicest guy in the room, his story of what Pledge did to save more than 1,300 Afghan refugees is the thing of philanthropic heroics.
