Case Study: Orphan's Promise bridges a $75,000 funding gap with Funraise

The gift that gave double to Orphan's Promise

Orphan's Promise, a child-focused nonprofit organization, faced a $75,000 funding shortfall due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was uncertain about how to ask its loyal donor base for additional support during a time of widespread financial volatility. The organization needed a way to bridge this gap and continue its community-focused programming.

Using the Funraise platform, the organization leveraged a spontaneous $35,000 matching gift to launch a campaign. During a Zoom call with core donors, the team transparently shared their reduced funding need, which was met with an immediate and overwhelming response. The campaign successfully closed the financial gap and, more importantly, strengthened donor relationships, with supporters explicitly asking to be informed of future needs to ensure the organization's continued success.
