Your campus comedy night could help keep a girl in school

No, really.

Most people don't think about their ticketing platform.

You pick one, it works (hopefully), people get their tickets, the event happens. The platform takes its cut and... what? Someone somewhere maybe gets a bit richer?

But amongst colleges there is a quiet movement beginning to stir. Young people want more from the brands they back.

So they went looking. What they found was Humanitix, a platform that dedicates 100% of booking fee profits to charities fighting to end extreme poverty, at home and abroad.

For schools and institutions whose entire reason for existing is to help create opportunity, that's not just a nice-to-have.

That's what we call alignment.

Where do your booking fees actually go?

When you choose to run your event through Humanitix, your attendees pay a booking fee, same as they would anywhere else. The difference? Humanitix doesn't pocket the profits. Instead, those profits are dedicated to highly effective charities fighting to end extreme poverty, funding everything from education and healthcare to things you'd never expect a ticket to pay for.

Same event. Same tickets. Different outcome.

Whether you're a student organization selling tickets to a speaker series, or a department putting on a performance season, your tickets can do more than get people through the door. They can open one for someone else.

The only question is: where do you want those booking fees to go?

It's a small switch. The impact isn't.
