Case Study: The Gideons International achieves distribution of 175,000+ scriptures without a single cash donation with iDonate

Over 175,000 Scriptures Distributed – Without a Single Cash Donation

The Gideons International, a faith-based nonprofit best known for placing Bibles in hotels and spreading the Christian message worldwide, needed ways to fund large-scale scripture distribution despite many supporters lacking cash. iDonate stepped in to provide a noncash giving solution to help the organization tap donors’ in‑kind assets and expand fundraising options.

Using iDonate’s noncash giving platform, The Gideons International raised enough in-kind gifts to distribute more than 175,000 scriptures last year without a single cash donation, enabling creative gifts (from designer purses to portions of a farmer’s corn crop) and widening donor participation. iDonate’s service directly translated noncash contributions into measurable impact, allowing The Gideons International to reach far more people than traditional cash-only fundraising would have permitted.
