Partnership Enhances Compliance and Efficiency, Empowering Nonprofits to Raise Millions Through Golf Fundraisers

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Member for a Day, the leading golf nonprofit fundraising platform, announces today that it is partnering with Change, a donation processing and compliance platform, to revolutionize charitable golf auctions and sweepstakes. Golfers are able to bid on exclusive experiences to benefit a chosen charity on Member for a Day’s site. Change’s thorough nonprofit vetting, up-to-date compliance, and seamless donations solution make these auctions and sweepstakes possible.

Member for a Day selected Change for its compliance expertise, essential in the highly regulated professional fundraising space. Over 40 states have specific requirements for professional fundraisers, including registration and campaign reports detailing the amount donated to the charity, among other things. This partnership addresses critical barriers, including vetting nonprofit eligibility, processing donations, and distributing funds in a timely manner. Change’s user-friendly platform makes it simple to onboard the nonprofits that Member for a Day is supporting and send funds raised to them quickly.

As Member for a Day plans to scale its fundraising activities and diversify into other avenues – like golf sweepstakes – an automated and reliable donation disbursement process is vital.

“We’ve had big plans for a while to scale our golf auctions and expand into sweepstakes, and now – thanks to Change – we’re able to act on that. The legal compliance is quite complicated for what we do, but it’s necessary. Having Change provide the compliance know-how has been a godsend.”
Eric Sedransk, Founder & CEO

Member for a Day plays a crucial role in raising funds for nonprofit organizations that are looking for more creative fundraising channels. The platform’s golf auctions have benefitted prominent organizations such as The First Tee, LPGA Foundation, and the APROQUEN.

At publishing date, Member for a Day has supported hundreds of nonprofits, collectively raising over $8,200,000.

VerifiedX Releases VFX SwitchBlade Wallet Featuring First-Mover Bitcoin Utility at BitMart

Published

By

TORONTO, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The VerifiedX (VFX) Network, VerifiedX.io, has launched its mainnet non-custodial wallet VFX SwitchBlade, which enables full native Bitcoin functionality. The VFX SwitchBlade also supports a ‘first-mover’ fully decentralized and self custodial Bitcoin Tokenization (Verified Bitcoin) with on-chain native features, enabling real day-to-day utility, while solving current frictions for all Bitcoiners globally today. 

 

Verified Bitcoin (vBTC) enables anyone the ability to save, spend, withdraw, borrow, lend, mint & transfer media / documents, and vault actual Bitcoin with on-chain recovery features eliminating the need for third-parties or hardware wallets, through a feature rich simple text smart contract. This incredibly unique Bitcoin token provides for enhanced privacy with near-instant transaction finality, all with near-zero fees. Verified Bitcoin tokens are transferable in any denomination completely peer-to-peer, so long as they have a native Bitcoin balance and always maintain a fully decentralized and non-custodial evergreen 1:1 peg. This means that 1 vBTC will always equal 1 BTC and token owners may withdraw their underlying Bitcoin anytime with a ‘one-click’ multisig action or off-ramp the token itself, in whole or in part, at any participatory liquidity provider.

This empowering development will inevitably help provide congestion relief for the Bitcoin network, dramatically reduce Bitcoin holders cost of ownership and transfers, enable media embedding, and increase self-custodial security exponentially, adding immediate utility to holders of the largest digital asset class. It is anticipated that Verified Bitcoin may also help facilitate additional native scarcity with Total Value Vaulted (TVV) over time on VerifiedX Vaults.

VerifiedX – VFX (VerifiedX.IO) is the first open-source decentralized network that is both a universal layer 1 and a Bitcoin specific sidechain for the purpose of tokenized self-custody, on-chain storage, and peer-to-peer commerce of both digital & physical assets.
