Reimagining Corporate Philanthropy Blackstone’s App for Charity Auctions | The Data Apps Conference
Corporate philanthropy is a key pillar of Blackstone’s culture, with regular firm-wide initiatives planned to rally employees around charitable causes. However, Blackstone's annual Global Fight Hunger campaign faced challenges with their traditional live auction format - events took hours, required simultaneous attendance, and limited participation to high-value items. The team needed a solution that could engage 700+ employees across divisions while supporting both premium experiences and smaller donations.
In this session, Ariel Amdur (Managing Director) will share how Blackstone built a Charity Auction Data App using Sigma to:
Expand participation beyond live events with a real-time silent auction system Automate bid tracking and donation logging to reduce administrative burden Enhance transparency by linking bids to employee profiles, ensuring clear tracking and reporting Drive excitement and engagement with a digital-first approach to corporate giving By moving to a data app-driven auction process, Blackstone increased participation, simplified donation tracking, and created a more scalable and engaging way to support charitable initiatives. Watch the demo to see how Sigma helped make this transformation possible.
