Case Study: Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia cuts event costs and grows revenue with Pledge It

Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia cuts event costs 15% and grows revenue nearly 9% with Pledge It

The Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia (DSANV) faced significant challenges with its fundraising events, which generate over 60% of its annual revenue. The organization was using too many disconnected systems for ticketing, auctions, and sponsorships, leading to scattered data, high operational costs, and time-consuming administrative work. Seeking a better solution, DSANV chose the Pledge It platform to consolidate its efforts and find a more responsive support partner.

By implementing Pledge It, DSANV consolidated all event management, including ticketing, peer-to-peer fundraising, auctions, and merchandise sales, into one streamlined platform. The solution provided hands-on customer support and enabled new fundraising ideas like selling merchandise directly through event pages. As a result, Pledge It helped DSANV cut event expenses by 15% and increase event income by nearly 9% year over year, saving thousands in operational costs and fueling more programs for families.
