Hey! I’m Ashley
Founder, CHAIRitable
I started CHAIRitable because every time I visited a fundraising event, I noticed there were many empty seats and tables. I knew there had to be a solution to filling these seats in advance to reduce the amount of no-shows and to increase the revenue for the nonprofit. CHAIRitable was born out of that desire to give back and let more professionals enjoy these events that are normally priced out.
Nicknamed the “President of Everything,” Ashley is a super volunteer and serves and has served on many nonprofit boards. As a result, Ashley often attends fundraisers for nonprofit events to support their wonderful causes. As she would attend these events, no matter how big or small the nonprofit, she noticed a common theme: empty seats and sometimes whole tables. Knowing that nonprofits sell tickets and sponsorships in advance, she knows the no-shows were not by design. She always wondered how she could get more bodies in the room but by the time you’re at the event, it’s way too late.
Out of that recurring theme, birthed CHAIRitable, which is Ashley’s way of solving this problem. The majority of the room at these events were not in Ashley’s generation (the millennials) unless they were volunteering at the event, knew a sponsor, or served on the young professionals’ board. Ashley realized access was the biggest limitation to having these seats filled. Just one problem, tickets for nonprofit fundraisers are not cheap. As they shouldn’t be, of course, the purpose is to fund the nonprofit’s mission. Important work doesn’t come at small price points.
Ashley believed she can solve this problem by partnering with nonprofits to resell their unclaimed presold tickets to professionals who want to attend but can’t necessarily afford the original price.
