Kelowna, BC – July 16, 2021: Trellis Social Enterprise Inc. (trellis.org) a charitable events software platform based in Kelowna, BC has just confirmed their acquisition of Echolotto Inc. (echolotto.com), a charity raffle provider from Saskatchewan.
Trellis and Echolotto both serve charities. Charities need one place to sell tickets, run auctions, process donations and create raffles. This acquisition will make Trellis the first software in Canada that can truly do it all for fundraising events. With this new announcement, together they will become the first approved raffle provider to also offer other revenue drivers for charities starting in Saskatchewan. Not only will this increase revenue potential for Trellis, but more importantly time saved for both Trellis and Echolotto customers.
“This acquisition allows Trellis to gain market share, technology and expertise in the charity raffle & 50/50 space as we expand this feature across Canada,” says founder and CEO Justin Goodhew. Paul Burch, co-founder and CEO of Echolotto says, “this allows our raffle customers to now sell tickets, process donations and also run silent and live auctions on top of running their raffles. It’s the start of an incredibly exciting new phase.”
