A Greater Giving Case Study
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School, a Catholic Felician Franciscan school, faced a growing burden running its annual fundraising auction from a homemade, paper-heavy database. Manual tracking, on-site receipts, and paper bid sheets were time-consuming and at odds with the school’s Green Initiative, while staff wanted a more polished, efficient guest experience that could scale beyond networking terminals and extra IT support.
The school adopted Greater Giving’s full online package—event registration, management software, mobile bidding, and Storefront—moving ticket sales and registration online, eliminating paper bid sheets, and enabling tablet-based raffle sales by student and adult bid assistants. Results included drastically reduced manual data entry, faster check-in/out, automated routing of winning bids into the database, stronger engagement and raffle revenue via roaming student sellers, and alignment with the school’s sustainability goals.
