Case Study: Mightycause cuts maintenance costs and support tickets and boosts fundraising visuals with Uploadcare

How Mightycause helps fundraisers attract more donations with visually captivating stories

Mightycause, an all‑in‑one fundraising platform used by roughly 150,000 active users, needed an affordable, user‑friendly media uploader with built‑in cropping and automated image processing so nonprofits could tell more visually compelling stories, scale for traffic spikes, and reduce support overhead. After problems with their prior Paper Clip plugin, Mightycause selected Uploadcare’s File Uploader to meet those requirements.

Uploadcare delivered a maintenance‑free media pipeline with an intuitive uploader, built‑in editor, adaptive resizing and CDN delivery, plus multiple upload sources. As a result, Mightycause reduced image‑related support tickets by 66% (about 10% fewer support tickets overall), saved roughly $5,000 per month in maintenance, and reliably handled peak events (over 2,200 concurrent users, up to 155,000 users and 1.3M page views in a day), producing better‑looking pages that drove higher donations.
