Case Study: Wittmann Elementary School achieves 75% increase in membership funds with memberplanet

Wittmann Elementary School Uses Online Fundraising and Increases Membership Funds by 75%

Wittmann Elementary School, a 570-student K–6 school in the ABC Unified School District, was struggling to raise enough money to sustain and expand 16 enrichment and career-pathway programs. Volunteers were uncomfortable handling cash and traditional platforms lacked the parent outreach needed, so Wittmann turned to memberplanet’s online fundraising and membership management platform to improve engagement and transparency.

memberplanet provided an all-in-one solution (online donations, membership portal, newsletter templates, mobile app, Smart Lists and group text) that automated communications and payments. As a result, membership funds rose 75% from $20,395 in 2014 to $35,655 in 2016, 77% of 2016 funds ($27,535) were raised online, staff membership reached 100%, parent membership exceeded 75%, and administrative time spent on fundraising was significantly reduced.
