Case Study: 1BurkeGives achieves $260,000+ raised for rural nonprofits with Bonterra GiveGab

1BurkeGives supports rural nonprofits on Giving Tuesday

1BurkeGives, Burke County United Way’s 24-hour Giving Day for rural Burke County, NC, needed a way to recover COVID-era fundraising losses, diversify revenue, and give local nonprofits modern online fundraising tools. To launch and scale the event quickly, the campaign partnered with Bonterra GiveGab’s Giving Days solution for platform technology and expert guidance.

Bonterra GiveGab provided a dedicated Giving Days project manager, live chat support, and an easy-to-use platform with peer-to-peer fundraising, matches/challenges, leaderboards and secure donation pages, enabling fast rollout and smoother nonprofit onboarding. The results: 1BurkeGives has raised over $260,000 since 2020; in 2022 the event drew 435 donors and about $105,000 for 30 organizations (a 110% increase from 2020), generated over 500 first-time donors across three years, and helped participating nonprofits boost their fundraising.
