Case Study: FAME strengthens scholar community with Brazen

FAME Cultivates Community through the Brazen Opportunity Fund

FAME, a non-profit supporting African American students, faced the challenge of maintaining its community-focused programming during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their mission to provide academic support and enrichment relied on personal connection, which was disrupted by the need for social distancing. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor Brazen and utilized its virtual event platform through the Brazen Opportunity Fund.

Using the Brazen platform, FAME successfully transitioned its events online, hosting recruiting sessions and significant talks that broadened their reach to new audiences and supporters. This solution allowed them to provide consistent support to their scholars and even expand their event scope. The measurable impact was significant, including hosting their largest alumni event in five years. FAME continues to use Brazen for future virtual programming, solidifying their partnership.
