Case Study: Jordan Thomas Foundation raises record gala revenue with Pledge It

Jordan Thomas Foundation raises $274K at first gala with Pledge It

The Jordan Thomas Foundation, a nonprofit providing prosthetic care for children, faced a challenge when planning its first-ever gala. Its existing event technology was rudimentary and not suited for a sophisticated evening event. The foundation needed a clean, capable platform from a vendor like Pledge It to handle registration, sponsorships, and last-minute additions like auctions without creating extra work for its small team.

Pledge It provided a comprehensive event management solution that included registration, sponsorship tools, and silent and live auction capabilities. The platform's user-friendly interface and exceptional customer support allowed for a smooth mid-planning pivot to include auctions. As a result, the Jordan Thomas Foundation's gala was a major success, exceeding its fundraising goal by raising over $270,000 and selling 200 tickets. The end-of-night checkout process was completed error-free in just 30-45 minutes.
