Case Study: Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter raises $124,000 with GiveSmart

Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter - Customer Case Study

Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter (GNHS) needed to raise more money to support growing organizational initiatives, so they planned a Dancing with the Stars fundraiser to engage the community and encourage real-time voting and donations. They chose GiveSmart and its fundraising tools, including instant buys, peer-to-peer, raffles, ticketing, and voting, to help power the event.

With GiveSmart, dance teams promoted unique keywords and short links across social media, text, email, television, radio, and print, while live thermometers displayed donor names and totals to create a competitive giving environment. The fundraiser raised more than $124,000 for the shelter and generated over 6,000 text messages to update supporters, helping Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter grow its donor engagement and fundraising reach.
