Case Study: Friends School in Detroit raises $68,000 in six weeks with DoJiggy

Friends School in Detroit - Customer Case Study

Friends School Detroit is a small independent Quaker school of about 100 students that provides affordable, high-quality education with small class sizes and a focus on diversity and social justice. Facing lower enrollment and needing a large amount of money on a six-week timeline, the school launched an urgent fundraising initiative.

They organized a walk-a-thon and Harvest Festival, mobilizing parents, local sponsors, student incentives and Dojiggy’s online fundraising platform — including personal pages, email solicitation, credit-card processing and reporting tools — to streamline outreach and donations. With roughly 85% student participation, nearly 110 students helped raise about $68,000, exceeding expectations and boosting the school’s credibility in the community.
