    St. Augustine Humane Society
    "Thanks again for a great contest. We've worked with GoGo Photo Contest since 2014 and have made the most ever this year…$25,000 is a record for us! I can't say enough great things about the support we've received from Jason and Stevie since Gogo has been hosting our annual contests. They allow us to be as creative as we want and Gogo is a true partner throughout the process, being responsive to all our ideas and concerns. This fundraiser has become our signature event and we pair it with a yearend party where we do a grand reveal of our Pin Up Paws calendar. Our community loves it!

    Belly Rubs Basset Rescue
    "We've worked with GoGo Photo Contest since 2014. Before switching to GoGo we ran our contests ourselves, through our own site. When GoGo stepped in with a better site that was easier to use, proceeds from our vote-to-donate contests increased more than 50 percent. Stevie and Jason are always available to answer questions during the fundraiser or help us with with anything that arises. We wouldn't go anywhere else for our custom fund-raising contests."

    "We came upon GoGo Photo Contest in 2015 when searching for a new platform to run our annual Calendar Contest. What immediately stood out for us was the phenomenal customer service we received from our very first inquiry. Since then, and several contests later, they remain committed to helping us reach our goals and by year two, we doubled our original fundraising goal!

    Want to change something up or try something new? They're promptly on it and always with cheerful, optimistic dispositions. We love working with this company!

    Above & Beyond English Setter Rescue
    "As a 501c3 100% volunteer rescue, 75% of our funding comes from donations and fundraising. Our annual rescue calendar has evolved into one of our top annual fundraisers. GOGOPHOTOCONTEST.com contests provide an easy and effective means to have our adopters submit their dog's pictures and have the public "purchase" votes to vote their favorites into the top calendar spots for larger photos. Every photo that gets submitted is included in our calendar.

    In addition to being a lot of fun, it's heartwarming to see how our past dogs have thrived in their adopters' care. This is also a great way to stay connected with past adopters and receive continuing donations. They look forward to each year's calendar contest and having their baby among the many beautiful photos! GOGOphotocontest.com makes running a photo contest easy! They provide detail forms for all information needed to create a professional and appealing contest site. The administrative reports are perfect for tracking activity and for financial reporting. Donations are sent right to our bank account of choice. Plus, GOGOphotocontest.com employees are awesome. They respond quickly to questions and getting a contest up and running is extremely quick!

    People love their pets – let's face it - their family. Our adopters look forward to our photo contest every year! We've raised our financial goal each year and have repeatedly exceeded our goal. This "event" gets bigger every year! We raised more than ever before with this years contest. 

    Thank You GOGOPHOTOCONTEST.com!

    Humane Society of Tampa Bay
    "We first started using GoGo Photo Contest in 2015 when we were looking for a unique fundraiser in the summer. We weren't quite sure what to expect but it was well received by our supporters. We have continued this fundraiser each year since then and most recently finished our fundraiser in 2018. This was our most successful year in which we set a high goal of $40,000 (more than we have ever raised for this contest) and ended up raising over $59,000!!!! The program is very user friendly for both the donor and for us as the non-profit. We use this fundraiser as a photo calendar contest and we cannot wait to continue it next year! We're thrilled to raise this additional money to help homeless animals in Tampa Bay."

    "...It has been the smoothest running photo contest we have ever done. The ease of putting up photos has been such a delight. Our receptionists, who normally troubleshoot the contest several times a week with people on the phone, didn’t have to deal with a single problem. Thank you for creating such a perfect site!"

    "GoGo Photo Contest has given a substantial boost to our national fundraising efforts. Our annual photo contest has produced new record results each year. I attribute this to GoGo's engaging layout and responsive code, which makes it easy for participants to stay up-to-date on the latest results.

    We'll definitely be using GoGo again this year, and I highly recommend them to any animal rescue organization contemplating a photo contest fundraiser."

    Dachshund Rescue South Florida
    "Dachshund Rescue South Florida is thrilled with the GoGo Photo Contest Platform as not only does it reduce the amount of "hands on" management from our team in running and promoting the contest, but allows our entrants to set their own fundraising goals and seamlessly promote their own entries via social networking. We are just a few weeks into taking entries, but we are already on track to have our biggest year ever!"

    Weimaraner Rescue of the South
    "...We are a SMALL organization in regards to number of volunteers, foster homes, etc. We have an operating budget of about $100,000 a year. The fact that we can bring in 20% of that with our annual calendar contests is huge, especially since it requires so little volunteer time and effort because of your amazing product.

    So, THANK YOU for gogophotocontest! And I appreciate that you're continually making improvements to the dashboard and that your help and support section is actually helpful and supportive!"
    - Betsy Bottomley, Weimaraner Rescue of the South

Animal Shelters and Humane Societies

GoGo Photo Contest was created with you in mind! We understand the unique challenges animal shelters and humane groups face when fundraising. Our co-founders have been involved in animal welfare fundraising since 2005.

Wine or Beer Label Contests

Bringing a local winery or brewery on board to create a specific beverage in honor of the winner can make winning the top spot even more special. It's also an excellent way to increase community involvement while extending your fundraising outreach (win-win).

Calendar Contests

Having a photo calendar as part of your prize package is one of the most popular prize options and we can see why- who wouldn't like to see their cherished pet's furry face on a special month in a calendar?
