Case Study: Interfaith Food Pantry achieves $46,680 in virtual fundraising and sold-out items with OneCause

How Interfaith Food Pantry Tapped Into The Power of Virtual Fundraising and Livestream

Interfaith Food Pantry had to pivot its in-person gala to a virtual format when COVID-19 hit, needing a way to keep donors engaged and fundraising momentum alive. Partnering with OneCause and using its mobile bidding platform, Virtual Event Manager support, livestreaming and the Giving Center (virtual ad journal), the team recreated the event experience online and reached supporters through text outreach and Facebook Live tours.

OneCause’s solution drove strong results: 922 total supporters, 760 bids, $13,890 in raffle proceeds, $32,790 from donation appeals, and sold-out fixed-price food packages — with demand for the 50/50 raffle so high it was reopened. The combination of mobile bidding, livestream engagement, and a virtual ad journal increased sponsor exposure and delivered measurable fundraising impact for Interfaith Food Pantry.
