Case Study: Hillel International raises $5.5M in four days with GoFundMe Pro

Hillel set new records and raised $5.5M in four days during its annual Global Giving Week

Hillel International, an organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Jewish students, sought to activate its supporters to fundraise on behalf of its campus chapters across the United States and Canada. Their challenge was to make this peer-to-peer fundraising process as easy and user-friendly as possible during their annual Global Giving Week event, requiring robust technology and support.

Using GoFundMe Pro's peer-to-peer fundraising technology and dedicated expertise, Hillel empowered its fundraisers with customized templates and training. The solution delivered a record-breaking result: during the 2024 Global Giving Week, they raised $5.5 million in just four days, achieving a 27% year-over-year growth in revenue. GoFundMe Pro also provided tools to grow their monthly giving community, which has expanded 10x over two years.
