Our Awesome Speakers
Renee Zau – Co-founder & CEO of DonationMatch
Renee started volunteering with fundraising auctions nearly 20 years ago when pursuing cause partnerships for her small businesses. Experiencing firsthand the arduous and inefficient process of securing auction donations, as well as challenges of finding events to partner with her businesses, she launched DonationMatch, a matchmaking-like platform that enables donor companies and nonprofit organizations to more effectively find and manage in-kind corporate engagement.
To date, DonationMatch has facilitated more than $77 million worth of in-kind donations to 53k+ events.
