Case Study: Summit Area YMCA Raises $377K with Givebutter

Summit Area YMCA raises $377K with Givebutter

The Summit Area YMCA faced the challenge of needing to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of their critical in-person fundraising kickoff event. They needed a user-friendly and fun virtual alternative that their community and volunteers could easily rally behind, which led them to the online fundraising platform Givebutter.

Using Givebutter’s team fundraising and livestreaming tools, the YMCA successfully pivoted to a virtual campaign. The solution enabled 33 teams to fundraise effectively and fostered donor engagement through features like a supporter feed. As a result, Givebutter helped the organization raise over $377,000 from more than 500 supporters, making it one of their most successful campaigns and establishing a new hybrid event strategy.
