Case Study: Wichita Collegiate School achieves record fundraising and increased donor participation with Bonterra GiveGab

Using challenges to drive Giving Day success with Wichita Collegiate School

Wichita Collegiate School sought to grow its annual Giving Day but needed a reliable, custom platform and accurate real‑time reporting to run match challenges and giveaways. The school partnered with Bonterra GiveGab, using Bonterra GiveGab’s Giving Days solution to manage the campaign and support strategy and communications.

Bonterra GiveGab implemented customizable challenge functionality, a dedicated project manager, and live support while building a branded Giving Day site on a 30‑day turnaround. The campaign unlocked a $100,000 alumni challenge when the school exceeded its 250‑donor goal, nearly doubled its participation target, drove more current parent participation in one day than the prior year, and put the school close to its annual fundraising goal.
