Case Study: JPII Newman raises $47K with Givebutter Team Fundraising

JPII Newman raises $47K with Givebutter

The John Paul II Newman Center in Omaha faced the challenge of needing to pivot their planned student phone-a-thon fundraiser due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With students sent home and social distancing in effect, they needed a new, rapid, and low-cost solution to raise emergency funds. They turned to Givebutter and its Team Fundraising platform to quickly launch a virtual campaign.

Using Givebutter, the center implemented a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign called the "No-Call-Phone-A-Thon." The intuitive platform allowed students to easily create personal fundraising pages to share their stories. Givebutter's integration capabilities and exceptional customer support were crucial for the quick setup. The campaign was a tremendous success, raising $47,000 from 182 supporters to provide COVID-19 emergency funding for students, surpassing their initial $40,000 goal.
