Case Study: St. Labre Indian School increases fundraising revenue with Engaging Networks

How St. Labre Indian School increased fundraising revenue by covering payment processing fees

St. Labre Indian School, a Catholic school providing education for Native American children, faced the challenge of outdated, heavily-coded online donation forms that were at risk of failing. They wanted to add a "Fee Cover" option to increase revenue but lacked a stable and flexible platform to implement it. They turned to the vendor Engaging Networks and its digital engagement platform to overhaul their fundraising tools.

Engaging Networks provided a solution by enabling St. Labre to easily rebuild their donation forms with a customizable "Fee Cover" option. This allowed donors to voluntarily add a small amount to their gift to cover transaction fees. The results were significant, with 64% of one-time donors and 65% of monthly donors choosing the option. This immediately increased the school's overall revenue by 1.9% and generated additional recurring monthly income, providing more funds for their mission.
