Ronald McDonald House Charities GWS raises AU$235,071 with GivePanel

Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney (RMHC GWS), an independent nonprofit providing a home for families with seriously ill children, sought a new, cost-effective fundraising channel to fill a gap in their events calendar. New to Facebook fundraising, they faced the challenge of managing a large-scale virtual event and chose to pilot a Facebook Challenge using the GivePanel platform to streamline the process.

Using GivePanel's tools for registration, communication, and reporting, RMHC GWS efficiently managed their "Marathon in a Month" challenge. The solution enabled them to automate stewardship, foster community in a Facebook Group, and run effective promotions. GivePanel's platform helped the charity achieve an exceptional result, raising over AU$235,000—far surpassing their initial goal—and establishing Facebook Challenges as a viable and highly successful income stream.
