Case Study: Wildlife SOS raises $328,000 and grows donor engagement with GiveSmart

Wildlife SOS - Customer Case Study

Wildlife SOS, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting at-risk wildlife in India, needed a better way to mobilize urgent support for rescue and rehabilitation efforts. With animals like elephants and pangolins facing severe threats, the organization wanted to use online giving, crowdfunding, and mobile messaging to quickly engage donors and raise funds in critical moments. GiveSmart provided the fundraising and donor management tools they needed to get started.

Using GiveSmart’s mobile-friendly donation pages, text message alerts, crowdfunding, and recurring giving options, Wildlife SOS launched an immediate campaign for the rescue of an abused elephant named Sanjay. The effort helped them raise more than $328,000 from 2,350 donors, secure 392 recurring gifts, recruit 41 volunteer fundraisers, and grow to 8,800 mobile subscribers. GiveSmart helped Wildlife SOS expand its reach and collect donations in real time from supporters around the world.
