Case Study: Boy Scouts of America, Long Beach Area Council raises $48,000 with GiveSmart

Boy Scouts of America, Long Beach Area Council - Customer Case Study

The Long Beach Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America needed to grow but lacked the necessary funds. With a minimal staff of only four people, they required a flexible and easy-to-use mobile donation software solution from GiveSmart to adapt to donors who increasingly preferred using credit or debit cards over cash or checks.

GiveSmart worked with the council to implement a text-to-give campaign and a subscription service for updates. The solution was highly effective, resulting in 75% of event attendees donating. GiveSmart helped raise $48,000 through online giving, cultivate 36 recurring gifts, and engage 390 local donors, with $23,000 specifically funding a new summer camp dining hall.
