Case Study: Unique Learning Center raises $10,000 to save its summer program with CauseVox

Unique Learning Center Raises $10,000 to Help At-Risk Kids

Unique Learning Center (ULC) is a small after-school program in the Washington, D.C. area that helps inner-city children with academics, internships, and outdoor camp experiences. When a major grant fell through, ULC faced losing its critical six-week summer program and needed to raise funds quickly to keep the program running.

Using the CauseVox platform, volunteer tutors, alumni and board members created peer-to-peer fundraising pages and mobilized their networks via email, phone, church groups and social media, supplemented with matching gifts and short videos. In about six weeks they raised over $10,000 — fully funding academic materials, internships stipends, snacks, staff pay and camp — while also raising ULC’s profile and proving the effectiveness of online fundraising.
