Why Not Just Post on Social?
Instagram & TikTok weren't built for fundraising
Social platforms are great for awareness. SBAU is built to turn nearby people into donors and attendees right now.
Instagram Live
- ✗Only your followers see it — strangers never discover your cause
- ✗Algorithm decides who gets notified, often less than 10%
- ✗No location targeting — viewers could be anywhere in the world
- ✗No way to drive people to your physical event location
TikTok Live
- ✗Global reach means no one nearby can actually show up
- ✗Algorithm-dependent — new accounts get little to no reach
- ✗Entertainment-first format doesn't convert to local donations
- ✗No built-in directions or local discovery tools
SBAU Live

- ✓100% location-targeted: only people who can actually show up see it

The SBAU Advantage
Why Live Beats Static Campaigns
Emotion in real time
A live stream of your mission in action moves people to give far more than any email or flyer ever could.
Zero ad budget needed
SBAU reaches everyone nearby organically. Spend your budget on the mission, not on Meta ads.
Local community first
Your most powerful donors are your neighbors. SBAU surfaces you to them automatically — no algorithm tax.
Shareable in one tap
