not 100% sure if it checks all of your boxes though but check it out!

Apparently MobileCause was acquired by Community Brands and has been merged under the GiveSmart platform.

Hate to say I don't think there is one that does it all. But the closest to what you want is probably Auctria or Greater Giving. DonorPerfect is also good but it doesn't do all the detailed auction stuff as far as I know.

I'm going to go look into Greater giving. Thank you guys!

Do you know anything about classy? That's the one the client is very keen on.

What Are Unique Small Venues in LA for Networking Events?

Hey guys! I’m looking for smaller venues in LA for a corporate networking event. It’s an afternoon event with presentations followed by a cocktail hour. I think the capacity should be for 50-100 ppl. The client tends to like trendy, colorful and out of the ordinary venues rather than hotel conference rooms. In-House AV setup is a plus. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance! 😊

Where Can You Find Conference Centers with Breakout Space in LA?

LA question — does anyone know of any conference centers in LA that are good for events (with breakout space) — kind of like Convene in New York? I am not familiar w/ any, but I thought those of you who are LA based might have some ideas. Looking for some other venue ideas (beyond hotels) for a program that requires breakout space, in addition to general session + meals. Neuehouse’s breakout space is a little too small. Want to make sure I haven’t left any stones unturned.
