Fenwick High School raises over $189K in a day of giving with Givebutter

Fenwick High School, a Catholic high school in Illinois, faced the challenge of reinvigorating its annual "Raise the Shield" day of giving after several years of declining engagement and donor fatigue with their previous custom-built fundraising platform. They sought a new solution that could provide a fresh, engaging experience for their community.

The school implemented Givebutter, specifically leveraging its integration with ThankView for personalized video solicitations. This allowed class captains to seamlessly ask for donations within their videos, creating a unified and streamlined donor experience. Using Givebutter, Fenwick High School successfully raised over $189,000 from 869 supporters, exceeding their participation goal and reversing the previous decline in donor numbers. A significant 98% of donors also opted to cover the processing fees, demonstrating strong support.
