A Greater Giving Case Study
The Vichy Mothers Club is a parent-led group that raises nearly 65% of operating funds for Vichy Elementary School in Napa, California. Facing limited district funding, a cumbersome auction system, long checkout lines and a need to reach a wider donor base, the club sought a more efficient way to sell tickets, manage auctions and boost fundraising revenue.
They implemented the Greater Giving Fundraising Suite and Auctionpay card readers, moved most sales and registrations online, curated fewer higher-performing auction items with Guaranteed Purchase options, and limited in-person attendance for a smoother event. The changes saved volunteers time, eliminated checkout lines, drove 90% of ticket sales online, attracted out-of-area bidders, and produced a 20% revenue increase year-over-year (live auction sales averaged over 100% of item value; silent averaged 72–75%).
