HousingPlus
About
HousingPlus provides community-based housing and comprehensive support services focused on women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people, as well as their families.
Approach
Like many organizations, HousingPlus had to transition its annual fundraising event to a virtual format in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19. Hosting a virtual event for the first time required developing a strong digital communications strategy to engage both new and existing audiences effectively
Wandering Zoo created a successful digital media campaign that helped the non-profit transition its annual gala and auction into a dynamic virtual experience. The digital strategy included paid and organic social, email campaigns, graphic assets, and a customized promotional toolkit to empower auction donors, partners, and board members to amplify the campaign’s reach.
Goal
To bring its annual fundraiser online for the first time, HousingPlus set out to create a community-driven virtual event that inspired engagement and support.
