Case Study: Covenant House Michigan (faith-based nonprofit) raises record funds and collects donations within 48 hours with Greater Giving's Online Event Software

Covenant House Michigan - Customer Case Study

Covenant House Michigan, a faith-based nonprofit that shelters and supports homeless and at-risk youth, struggled to manage its largest annual fundraising gala— a theatre-style stage production that forgoes a silent auction. Organizers relied on spreadsheets and texting to capture pledges and guest data (most tickets were sold through sponsors), which led to missing information, slow pledge collection, and lost fundraising opportunities.

They adopted Greater Giving’s event management and Online Bidding tools, trained volunteers with a practice project, and began collecting credit card information up front and using Go Time for check-out and reporting (including raffle compliance). The event ran smoothly: registration captured missing guest data, cards were processed on-site, they raised more than ever, funds were collected within 48 hours, and the team now uses the system for other events and recommends it to peers.
