OneCause Continues Growth in Peer-to-Peer Fundraising with Latest EnhancementsINDIANAPOLIS, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OneCause, a leader in mobile and social fundraising, continues its growth and investment in peer-to-peer fundraising with its latest round of enhancements to the OneCause Peer-to-Peer solution. Last year, OneCause expanded into peer-to-peer fundraising with the acquisition of Austin-based Great Feats. "We're focused on delivering a participant-first solution that empowers supporters to become better fundraisers," said Steve Johns, Chief Executive Officer for OneCause. "Building on the strong foundation established by Great Feats, we continue to innovate and redefine traditional peer-to-peer experiences to make fundraising more social, mobile, and fun." Recent enhancements include:
Susan G. Komen Greater New York City: Improving the Participant Experience Komen Greater New York City has helped raise more than $82 million since 1990, funding breast cancer research and dozens of local community partners who deliver life-saving services to thousands of women and their families in the Greater NYC area. As their historic 30-year anniversary approaches, Komen Greater NYC has been looking for a true technology partner to provide an innovative peer-to-peer solution that can drive their participants toward success in the hyper-competitive modern fundraising climate. "The OneCause Peer-to-Peer user experience is revolutionary, re-imagining peer-to-peer from the participant and donor perspectives," said Glen Peck, Senior Director of Digital Communications for Susan G. Komen Greater New York City. " The kick-off of our annual event is typically accompanied by a wave of support calls and emails, and we expected an uptick given the platform change. We were wrong, support requests are down, and the overall response has been phenomenal. I've been delighted with the smooth transition and look forward to watching our participant engagement and success rise to unprecedented levels for our Race this fall." Share Our Strength: Expanding Campaign and Event Reach Since 1984, Share Our Strength has worked to end hunger and poverty in the U.S. and abroad through their campaigns like No Kid Hungry and Cooking Matters. Recently the organization has been looking for new ways to engage supporters, exploring different communication channels like social media and text messaging, and expanding on the success of their local campaigns with wrap-around events. "Having a good partner to manage the digital side of our peer-to-peer program is critical to our fundraising success," said Richard Kostro, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer for Share Our Strength. "With a simplified backend and OneCause's innovative approach, we've been able to quickly set up and optimize our campaigns and events where previously there was the added time and expense to customize our digital experiences." Des Moines Christian School: Growing the Annual Gala with Ambassador Fundraising For over 70 years Des Moines Christian has been committed to equipping young minds and hearts in central Iowa to impact the world for Christ. For their April 2019 Gala, the Des Moines Christian team knew they wanted to experiment with a new way to generate excitement and donations to reach their aggressive fundraising goal of $250,000. "We were looking for a new way to engage the community beyond those who were going to be in the room," said Kristin Phillips, Director of Annual Giving for Des Moines Christian School. "With the flexibility of OneCause Ambassador Fundraising we were able to empower five couples in our family community to use their creativity and social networks to raise funds for programs they were passionate about in the 30 days leading up to our Gala. We set the tone for the Gala evening announcing the ambassadors had already raised $100,095, energizing the room and propelling us to our most successful Gala to date, raising more than $400,000."
