The charity stream, a new way to collect donations
What is charity streaming? In a few words, it’s about broadcasting a live video (on platforms like Twitch or YouTube), where you can interact with your community while allowing them to support your association through real-time donations. If this approach was popularized by large NGOs, it is now becoming accessible to all associations thanks to simple and intuitive tools like HelloAsso Stream.
HelloAsso Stream offers a completely free and commission-free live collection experience, where each donation is directly donated to the association. Each contribution, small or large, is transformed into concrete and immediate support for your projects!
