Case Study: Achilles International raises 114% of its goal with GoFundMe Pro

Achilles International chapters raised 114% of their goal for the annual Day of Giving

Achilles International, a nonprofit organization that empowers athletes with disabilities, faced the challenge of engaging its global network of volunteer-led chapters to fundraise more effectively on its behalf each year. They partnered with the vendor GoFundMe Pro and its peer-to-peer fundraising platform to address this.

The solution was an annual Day of Giving campaign, a friendly fundraising competition run on GoFundMe Pro that empowered chapters to create their own campaigns. This initiative helped the organization raise 114% of its goal, driven by an average of $735 raised per fundraiser. The measurable impact of these funds includes purchasing adaptive racing equipment and expanding programs to support more athletes.
