Case Study: Peace Community Center achieves nearly $118K in virtual fundraising after event cancellation with Bloomerang

Peace Community Center - Customer Case Study

Peace Community Center faced the sudden cancellation of its annual Learners to Leaders benefit when COVID-19 hit — an event that supplies a major portion of the organization's funding. With guidance and tools from Bloomerang, PCC pivoted away from a live gala and used Bloomerang’s fundraising and email platform to plan a virtual, multi-touch campaign to engage donors over a two-week period.

Using Bloomerang, PCC ran a five-email sequence that rolled out short speaker videos, progress updates and targeted asks, supported by board, staff and table‑captain outreach. The campaign exceeded its $100,000 goal, raising nearly $118,000 and producing strong engagement (email open rates up to 43% and click-through rates as high as 4.7%), delivering the organization’s best net revenue compared with prior years. Bloomerang’s platform and strategy helped PCC turn a canceled event into a highly successful virtual fundraiser.
