Case Study: Canine Companions achieves scalable, time-saving DIY fundraising with OneCause

Powering Their Mission with DIY Fundraising

Canine Companions, a national volunteer-led nonprofit, needed a way to run its DogFest DIY fundraising events without consuming too much staff time while still supporting 15 local events across different communities. The organization turned to OneCause and its Peer-to-Peer fundraising platform to create a scalable event site that volunteers could use easily.

With OneCause, Canine Companions built one template that could be replicated with minor customizations, streamlining setup and reducing staff workload. The result was faster launch times, more time for donor and event engagement, and built-in supporter recognition tools that sent instant gratitude emails when participants hit milestones or recruited teammates, helping the mission spread more efficiently across communities.
