Case Study: PS 150 Tribeca Learning Center achieves 105% over goal with OneCause virtual fundraising

How PS 150 Exceeded Goals & Built Community with Their Virtual Gala

PS 150, a small Manhattan elementary school, needed to quickly turn its annual Spring Auction into a virtual fundraiser after shifting plans in just three days. With a volunteer-led auction committee and one development professional, the school sought a way to run a silent auction, live auction, donation appeal, and raffle online while keeping families engaged.

OneCause helped PS 150 launch the event with virtual fundraising tools, mobile bidding, and online auction support, while the team used Zoom to livestream from a co-chair’s home and opened bidding early to build momentum. The OneCause-powered fundraiser generated 1,698 bids, averaged 6 bids per item, raised 78% above silent item value, and exceeded the donation goal by 105% in a 45-minute event.
