Case Study: Bryan ISD Education Foundation triples its fundraising goal with OneCause

How Bryan ISD Education Foundation Tripled Their Fundraising Goal with OneCause

Bryan ISD Education Foundation needed a better way to run its fundraising events and move beyond paper-based processes as it launched and grew its annual live music fundraiser. The foundation turned to OneCause, using its event and fundraising tools to create a smoother, more scalable experience for attendees, staff, and volunteers.

With OneCause, Bryan ISD Education Foundation streamlined check-in, ticketing, donor communication, and paddle raise giving, while adding a silent auction and real-time fundraising thermometer. The results were strong: attendance grew from 175 to 900 guests, the year-two event raised $72,000 in 10 minutes during the paddle raise, and total net revenue reached nearly $300,000—well above the original $25,000 goal.
