Case Study: B'nai Jeshurun raises $13K with Givebutter Livestream

B'nai Jeshurun raises $13K in a livestream celebration with Givebutter

B'nai Jeshurun, a 195-year-old congregation on Manhattan's Upper West Side, faced the challenge of pivoting its major annual spring fundraising event to a virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed a platform that could not only host a livestream but also facilitate easy, modern donations from a diverse and widespread community. They turned to Givebutter and its Livestream product to create a new kind of online celebration.

Using Givebutter, B'nai Jeshurun hosted a successful community-wide Livestream event that extended beyond the live broadcast. The platform's multiple payment options, including text-to-give, made donating quick and accessible, while the persistent campaign page allowed giving to continue long after the event concluded. This solution helped them raise over $13,000 from 64 supporters. Givebutter enabled the organization to maintain powerful community connections online and inspired continued donations, with contributions still coming in a month after the event ended.
