Case Study: University of Redlands raises $21,668 for its men’s soccer team with Ruffalo Noel Levitz’s ScaleFunder

University of Redlands - Customer Case Study

The University of Redlands men’s soccer program turned to Ruffalo Noel Levitz to fund a ten-day eSoccer UK Player Development Program after raising less than $5,000 through small events and failing in prior fundraising attempts. Working with the university’s RFund crowdfunding initiative, the team aimed to reach a $20,000 target to cover travel and program costs.

Ruffalo Noel Levitz deployed its ScaleFunder crowdfunding module and local RFund administrator to launch the campaign in under 30 days, helping the team create personalized content, tiered perks, and a multichannel outreach plan (social, email, phone and alumni calls) that included matching challenges. The project raised $21,668 from 90 gifts in under two months (67% new donors), produced multiple large gifts including $2,500 gifts, and reduced out-of-pocket costs by about $800 per participant.
