Challenge

Solution

A Top Tier University hosts a ‘#DayofSupport’ fundraiser every May. A component of the campaign is to ask alumni, staff, faculty, and parents to volunteer as fundraisers to support specific programs. Finding an easy way to set up university crowdfunding pages and manage their donors was a struggle until they came across [GiveSmart].

[GiveSmart] supported this university in creating individual pages for each fundraiser to share with friends and family. The crowdfunding captains found setting up the university’s crowdfunding pages surprisingly easy. After meticulously creating and testing the pages, they were ready for the event. Leading up to the #DayofSupport, [GiveSmart] captured donations and recorded donor data.

Impact

From the get-go, the crowdfunding event was very successful. The campaign was getting close to its fundraising goal days before the event! The event acted as a final push to reach their fundraising goal, which they easily hit. This campaign generated over $55,000 from volunteer fundraisers with over 400 donations from friends of the university and an average donation amount of $130.
