Case Study: Archbishop Riordan High School achieves 550% increase in Giving Day donations with Almabase

Archbishop Riordan High School increases giving day donations to a whopping 550%

Archbishop Riordan High School, an all-boys Catholic school in San Francisco, faced low alumni participation on giving days due to a poor mobile donation experience and slow, IT-dependent setup and customization of campaign pages. They turned to Almabase’s giving day platform—featuring mobile-optimized checkout, social giving and peer-to-peer fundraising tools, email segmentation, and Raiser's Edge integration—to address these challenges.

Almabase implemented fast, mobile-friendly donation flows (gifts in under 60 seconds), shareable social/peer-to-peer pages with live leaderboards, and targeted email segmentation plus seamless Raiser's Edge sync. The result: a 550% increase in giving day donations, $338,724 raised in 2018 versus $60,646 in 2017, higher alumni engagement, and clear, measurable influencer impact—demonstrating Almabase’s direct contribution to the campaign’s success.
