Case Study: Skowhegan achieves 4X increase in on-time tuition payments with MoonClerk

How Skowhegan Increased Its On-Time Tuition Payment Rate 4X With MoonClerk

Skowhegan is a nine-week residency for emerging visual artists that struggled with a manual, staff-driven tuition collection process—calls, emails and phone-entered card payments—that ate up administrative time and led to slow, inconsistent payments. To solve this, Skowhegan adopted MoonClerk to offer participants online, self-managed payment schedules and automated billing communications.

MoonClerk’s integration and clear interface let Skowhegan set up recurring tuition payments quickly, automate reminders, and reduce manual follow-up, freeing staff time. The result: on-time payments jumped about 4X—rising from roughly 15 timely payers before to 63 this year—while ongoing recurring donations and administrative efficiency also improved thanks to MoonClerk.
