  charity was no big deal. There were so many
  options to fall back on on-premises auctions,
  gala dinners, movie and theatre shows, garage
  sales, and many more. Then came the Covid-19
  pandemic, lockdowns, and social distancing norms.
  People started to stay indoors and fundraising
  took a hit.

  the rescue of fundraisers. Novel avenues were
  explored to take advantage of the reach and scope
  of the web and very effective online fundraising
  ideas came to the surface, each no less effective
  and successful than the traditional means of
  raising funds that the world was used to.
