Case Study: 1BurkeGives boosts rural nonprofit fundraising with Bonterra Donor Engagement

1BurkeGives raises $105,000 with Bonterra

1BurkeGives, a 24-hour giving day initiative by the Burke County United Way in North Carolina, faced fundraising challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, needing to support rural nonprofits. The organization turned to Bonterra Donor Engagement, utilizing its Giving Days solution to modernize its efforts.

Bonterra’s solution provided a dedicated Giving Day site, enabling local nonprofits to engage in online fundraising. As a result, the initiative has raised over $260,000 to date, with its 2022 event alone seeing 435 donors raise $105,000 for 30 organizations—a 110% increase from its inaugural 2020 event. Bonterra helped establish a sustainable program with a dedicated steering committee for continued growth.
