Case Study: YMCA Florida First Coast achieves its camp fundraising goal with GiveSmart

YMCA - Customer Case Study

The Florida First Coast YMCA, a volunteer-driven community organization, sought to raise funds to send children to camp through its annual Y-BASH event. Their challenge was to meet a bold fundraising goal without relying on traditional ticket sales. They partnered with GiveSmart to utilize its text-to-RSVP and text-to-give donation services.

GiveSmart provided the solution that enabled attendees to RSVP via text and make donations by texting a keyword to a dedicated number. During the event, this approach led to donations flooding in, with the fundraising goal being exceeded in just three minutes. The GiveSmart platform helped raise $11,000 from 125 donors, which funded sending 22 kids to camp.
