Case Study: Synergy Ministries raises $21,000 for microfinance projects with CauseVox

Synergy Ministries’ Volunteers Raised $21,000 for Their Microfinance Projects Abroad

Synergy Ministries, a volunteer-run nonprofit of business professionals and students that provides management and IT consulting to microfinance organizations abroad, needed to fund summer volunteer teams to Cameroon, Ghana and India. Their challenge was converting mostly first-time fundraisers into effective solicitors to cover travel and capacity-building costs.

Using CauseVox, Synergy launched a branded fundraising site with individual personal pages, video storytelling, a how-to guide, and a training weekend to give volunteers ownership and skills. Ten volunteer pages raised 229 donations averaging $91 for a total of about $21,000 (roughly $2,000 per page, top page $3,110), enabling the teams to deploy to partner microfinance programs.
