Mission-centered IVEmissions.org focuses on the IVE’s work around the globe. The newly launched website takes the viewer to each country where they can learn more about the work being done in that part of the world in an interactive and exciting way.

Visitors to the site can experience part of missionary life from their own home. Each mission section features video and photo galleries spotlighting the IVE’s work in action. Each section also features information about the work taking place as well as volunteer opportunities.

A special section of the website is the “Missionary Chronicles” where Fuzati created a launching pad for viewers to read a variety of blogs from exciting international locations and on a variety of topics.

The “Latest News” section keeps readers up to date on what is happening around the globe with postings, blog entries and photographs of the impact in action.

From Argentina to Gaza, Khazakstan to Tanzania, the work of the IVE is largely funded through charitable gifts. Therefore Fuzati also included a “Support Our Missions” section of the website where donors can decide how much to give and to what specific mission they want to support.

“Clear, efficient, functional – exactly what we needed to spread the word about our missionary activity. Fuzati’s expertise and imagination created not only a website, but a forum for our faithful across the globe – all the while providing a professional work experience and prompt service. Highly recommended,” said Br. Thomas Megargle, IVE.

At their K-street location, the CIC currently operates the St. Josemaría Escrivá Chapel offering Holy Mass, confession, and Eucharistic adoration daily and a bookstore. The bookstore currently contains more than 2,500 titles and the center provides panel events, book signings, and an ongoing series of lectures and discussion groups.

The CIC hired Fuzati to create a new online platform that, using the latest technology, would integrate with the non-profit’s current bookstore inventory and provide users a multitude of resources at their fingertips to provide the tools necessary for Catholic parents to share and increase their children’s faith.

“This project furthers the CIC’s mission to contribute to the ‘New Evangelization’ in the United States and promote a deeper knowledge of the Catholic Faith,” said Mary Rose Somarriba, chief operating officer for the Catholic Information Center. “The CIC has always been known for providing the highest quality products and we are excited by Fuzati’s ability to create a cutting-edge platform for us where patrons will be able to find the resources they need at the click of their mouse.”

As a sponsor of the RSC’s Golf Classic 2012, Fuzati donated a golf-themed website they created for the event. The website, www.RSCgolf.com provides information about the center’s annual fundraiser including pages about the golf tournament, the live auction to support the work of the RSC and information on sponsorship opportunities.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the website Fuzati donated,” said RSC Golf Classic Co-Chair Bert Kalisch. “The proceeds from the RSC Golf Classic will go directly to support the RSC’s programs such as motivational seminars for high school fellows on how to set goals, plan and prepare for their future and, to father-son activities for boys ages 6-12. The website Fuzati provided takes our event fundraising and advertising to a new level by providing an exciting and user-friendly way to get the word out about the RSC and encourage more golf tournament participants. In addition, I also thoroughly enjoyed working with Fuzati’s outstanding staff!”

The Golf Classic 2012 takes place September 17 at Hidden Creek Country Club. Virginia’s Attorney General, Ken Cuccinelli, Jr. is the event honoree.

Franciscan University of Steubenville

Fuzati will provide the 66-year-old institution with strategies to increase their branding, marketing and outreach while streamlining the organizational operations to increase efficiency and save money while ultimately increasing the number of attendees for the university’s pinacle program: the Steubenville Catholic Youth Conferences.

For nearly 40 years the Franciscan University of Steubenville has hosted the summer youth conferences. This summer, more than 40,000 teens will participate at 18 youth conference all over North America.

In addition to organizational and marketing consulting for the university, Fuzati has also created and implemented a new website for the school’s adult conference program.

Fuzati designed the organization’s “One Fan” Facebook page to engage the Special Olympics global online audience to encourage at least one fan for every single of Special Olympics’ 3.7 million athletes.

Within the first week of launching “One Fan” more than 21,000 people took action. To date more than half-a-million Facebook users “Like” this page.

Fuzati also designed and integrated Special Olympics’ “Meet The Athlete” Facebook page to connect with the organization’s website donations portal and utilized a dynamic marketing platform using multi-media to inspire engagement, giving and volunteerism.

Special Olympics transforms lives through the joy of sport, every day, everywhere. They are the world’s largest sports organization: with nearly 4 million athletes in more than 170 countries — and millions more volunteers and supporters. They are also a global social movement.

Using our social media networks, Fuzati was named one of the top fundraisers (#18 to be exact) who helped the band raise more than $325,000 in a few months for children in Japan.

The concert was August 31, 2011 at The Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles. To get tickets for the event, the band asked for help raising funds for earthquake and tsunami recovery in Japan through Music for Relief. Fans visited SecretShowForJapan.com to join the campaign to send aid to Japan.  Fans who raised at least $500  by August 24 earned two tickets to the show. 100% of the net proceeds went to provide care and financial support to children affected by the recent disasters.

Fuzati earned tickets and was invited to a meet and greet with the band before the concert.  Check out footage from our video and summary of the event here:
