Case Study: FMP Productions powers Restaurant Strong’s $2.1M fundraising campaign with GiveWP

Sam Adams and the $2.1M Restaurant Strong Fund Donation

The customer FMP Productions, a management and production company for foundations, faced the challenge of managing and processing a massive influx of donations and over 50,000 grant applications for the Greg Hill Foundation's Restaurant Strong Fund. They required a robust, transparent, and integrated online donation system on their WordPress website to power a nationwide fundraising campaign and provide crucial reporting to their major donor, Samuel Adams. The vendor GiveWP provided its donation platform to facilitate this.

GiveWP's solution enabled FMP Productions to host all donation forms directly on their site, ensuring security and a seamless donor experience. The platform's powerful reporting dashboard was crucial for pulling data from multiple states and maintaining the transparency required by their partners. This implementation helped the Restaurant Strong Fund, initially kickstarted by a $2.1 million donation, efficiently process applications and disburse $1,000 grants to out-of-work restaurant employees across 20 states.
