Case Study: First Tee Contra Costa boosts fundraising 5x with Pledge It

First Tee Contra Costa boosts fundraising 500% with Pledge It

First Tee Contra Costa, a youth development charity, faced significant challenges with its outdated and fragmented fundraising system. Relying on paper-based processes and disconnected tools like Golf Status and Donor Snap, the organization struggled with inefficient event management, lost donor information, and an inability to track revenue effectively. This led to chaotic events and limited annual fundraising of approximately $25,000. They turned to the vendor Pledge It for an all-in-one fundraising and donor management platform.

By implementing Pledge It's solution, First Tee Contra Costa consolidated its event registration, sponsorship management, and donor tracking onto a single platform. This provided a clear view of all revenue streams and captured crucial donor data for follow-up. The results were transformative: annual fundraising increased by nearly 500% to a projected $150,000, gala revenue grew by 220%, and program enrollment nearly quadrupled from 4,500 to 17,000 children. Pledge It enabled the charity to modernize its operations and build a sustainable donor pipeline.
