Case Study: Lincoln Park Community Services raises $197,387 (123% of goal) with OneCause

Lincoln Park Community Services Shattering Goals with Virtual Fundraising

Lincoln Park Community Services needed to pivot its in-person annual spring gala to a virtual, donation-only event due to social distancing. They partnered with OneCause, using the OneCause Online Giving Solution (OGS) alongside a paddle raise and YouTube Live to convert their signature event into an engaging virtual fundraiser.

OneCause’s platform and event tools powered pre-event outreach, an embedded livestream, and the online paddle raise, delivering measurable success: 340+ donations, $197,387 raised (123% of goal), a 40% increase over the prior year, and 400+ livestream views. OneCause’s solution enabled clear donor communication, a short engaging program, and strong online giving results.
