Case Study: Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Hartford boosts gala fundraising with GiveSmart

Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Hartford - Customer Case Study

The Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Hartford needed a better method for accepting donations at its annual Ner Tamid gala. The school was previously limited to cash and checks, which created extra work for donors and staff and failed to provide an easy way for its community of younger parents to give.

By implementing GiveSmart’s text-to-donate and live fundraising thermometer, the school made giving effortless. The solution generated immense success, raising over $13,000 in the first 30 minutes of the event. In total, the gala raised $32,365 from 124 donors, far surpassing its goal. The school credits the excitement of the live thermometer and the ease of GiveSmart for this result.
