Case Study: St. Joseph’s College New York raises $64,000 on Giving Day and halves manual work with Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Adding a new peer-to-peer fundraising solution proves easy, effective for St. Joseph’s

St. Joseph’s College New York, with campuses in Brooklyn and Long Island, needed a peer-to-peer fundraising solution that would scale alumni engagement without adding manual work to its advancement team. After a successful 2019 giving day, the college sought a platform that would integrate cleanly with its donor database (Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT) and streamline processes so staff could spend more time engaging donors.

The college implemented Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, powered by JustGiving, which delivered a quick, intuitive rollout and seamless integration. The new solution cut manual tasks by an estimated 50%, provided real-time analytics (including failed-transaction alerts) for better follow-up, enabled multiple targeted crowdfunding projects, and helped raise more than $64,000 from over 480 donors on the 2020 giving day with responsive support throughout the campaign.
