Commentary and fresh ideas on online fundraising for nonprofits and schools

Category: Fundraising Case Studies

Fundraising case studies drills down and examines specific nonprofit fundraising events and initiatives from DoJiggy’s client base. We highlight walkathons and peer-to-peer fundraisers, golf tournaments, online donation campaigns, school fundraisers, unique fundraising ideas and much more. The benefit to you is relating on a deeper level to an event or organization and imagining how yours will be.

For example: The annual Summit for the Planet Walk-a-thon and Earth Day Celebration in April each year has something for all ages. The green celebration features live animals including birds, lizards, and snakes; community networking, green businesses and more. Their theme even involves a wild time with frogs and turtles and the Bay Area Amphibian and Reptile Society. And great fun is featured with solar car races, live music, kids eco-carnival games and organic foods.

Nestled among the redwoods on 355 mountaintop acres, Mount Madonna is a safe and nurturing college-preparatory school that supports students in becoming caring, self-aware and articulate critical thinkers, who are prepared to meet challenges with perseverance, creativity and integrity. Their annual school crowdfunding event enables them to keep their high standards with emphasis on academic excellence, creative self-expression and positive character development.
