Yes, You Can! A Donor Growth Story
Written by David Mattingly, Director of Customer Success and Product Strategy
One of the most exciting features of GiveGrove is the flexibility it offers. You can easily turn modules on or off depending on your event’s needs—without extra costs or transaction limits.
One of the best parts of my job is when nonprofits realize how simple it is to add features like live auctions or ticket sales to their next fundraiser, and I get to say, “Yes, you can, and it won’t cost you extra!”
Let’s talk about the South Bend Kroc Center. In 2020, they turned to GiveGrove during the height of virtual fundraising. They started with our Silent Auction module, which allowed donors to bid and pay from home. It was a hit!
When in-person events made a comeback, the Kroc Center wanted to step up their game by adding a Live Auction. We worked closely with them, offering support and training for their team. The result? They increased their fundraising sixfold in their first year using the Live Auction module! For the past three years, their events have consistently outperformed expectations, bringing in more donations compared to their pre-auction days.
What’s the takeaway? Keeping your fundraising fresh and exciting doesn’t have to be complicated. With GiveGrove, adding a new twist to your event is as easy as pie—or should we say, easy peasy lemon squeezy! 🍋
