FUNdraising
is at the heart of INTIX!
The INTIX Conference Philanthropy Program is made possible
by the extraordinary generosity of our members, partners, and
volunteers. 100% of all donations supports the PD&E Fund, which
helps remove barriers to participation and invests in the next
generation of ticketing professionals. This year there were 55 global
applications for scholarships and grants from all market verticals
including sports, venues, colleges, commercial and not-for-pro昀椀t
performing arts. For the INTIX 2026 conference the Fund awarded
a record 29 scholarships that included registration, travel and hotel
expenses totaling $36,065 an increase of 17% over the prior year.
Underwriting went to ticketing professionals from Argentina,
Australia, the Dominican Republic, Canada, the UK and the US.
Every year, we deplete the fund. It is our goal to spend every penny
and then replenish it again the next year. So, to do that we try to
make our philanthropy fun.
The INTIX 2026 FUNdraising activities included the “Give & Get”
ticket and voucher program made possible by the Las Vegas regional
ticketing pros; the Surprise Boxes and the ever popular and
interactive 50/50 raf昀氀e. NEW this year is our partnership for the
INTIX – Saf昀椀re 50/50. You couldn’t miss the volunteers who
rocked the conference in their Saf昀椀re blue aprons selling tickets.
We give all of our donors a standing ovation for supporting the
INTIX PD&E Fund and helping our community to grow. Your time,
talent, and generosity help ensure a stronger, more inclusive future
for our industry.
A special round of applause goes to: The Saf昀椀re Team, Bruce
Mayhew, Julia Elbaum, Amy Kline, Tiffany Kelham, Stacey Ogren,
the members of the Chairman’s Circle and our FUNdraising
philanthropy angels Linda and Joseph Forlini.
