Case Study: Honduras Outreach, Inc. achieves modernized, diversified fundraising with GiveSmart

How having a robust solution best supported HOI’s success now and growth in the future

Honduras Outreach, Inc. (HOI), a long‑standing mission organization serving communities in Honduras, faced an urgent need to modernize and stabilize fundraising after two devastating 2020 hurricanes and the pandemic. HOI had been using GiveSmart Events for galas and auctions but needed a broader digital solution to support online donations, recurring giving, and new campaigns, so they evaluated and adopted additional GiveSmart products.

GiveSmart delivered a bundled solution—GiveSmart Events plus GiveSmart Fundraise—providing virtual/hybrid auction and ticketing tools, embeddable donation forms, peer‑to‑peer pages, CRM integrations, and real‑time reporting. The result: faster donor engagement (volunteer fundraiser went from request to first dollar in under 30 minutes), Hope 51 monthly giving hit 72% of goal within two months, streamlined data and saved staff time, and expanded reach through text‑to‑give and contactless ticketing—demonstrating GiveSmart’s measurable impact on HOI’s fundraising and growth.
