Global Fund For Women raises over $75,000 with Idealist consulting

Global Fund for Women, a leader in advancing the rights of women and girls, needed to quickly launch an online fundraising campaign to respond to the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. The challenge was to create a fast, mobile-friendly appeal that could process payments from a global supporter base and efficiently handle a surge in donor data. They partnered with vendor Idealist Consulting and utilized the Soapbox Engage platform integrated with Salesforce.com.

Idealist Consulting's solution, using Soapbox Engage, enabled the client to create donation pages swiftly and offer flexible payment options like PayPal. The real-time integration with Salesforce.com streamlined data management. This resulted in the organization's most successful crisis appeal, raising over $75,000 from more than 460 donors. The effort had a significant measurable impact, with online donations making up 94% of all gifts and over one-third of the donors being new supporters.
