Likelihood to Recommend

OneCause is well suited for events for a younger generation as it creates a digital platform to track expenses/revenue and market the event. It is well suited for events that include a silent auction as it has a great design to showcase/preview silent auction items to build excitement prior to the event. It might be less appropriate for events not open to the public or for generations not familiar/savvy with online purchases.
