Colby-Sawyer College uses GiveCampus to find and engage high-net-worth donors
Colby-Sawyer first partnered with GiveCampus back in 2016
Today, the College uses GiveCampus to power multiple initiatives—from everyday giving to crowdfunding and wealth screening. These tools empower fundraisers to engage constituents more strategically.
Solutions provided:
Colby-Sawyer used GiveCampus to:
Crowdfund a community garden
The modest campaign helped to fund a long-term local solution to a global challenge: food insecurity.
Identify donors with a higher capacity to give
GiveCampus flagged 12 high-net-worth donors—7 of whom had never made a gift to Colby-Sawyer before.
Cultivate and grow their major gift pipeline
The school was able to steward and engage these new $50k+ prospects with targeted appeals tailored to their passions.
Sowing the seeds for a bountiful harvest
Some 74 donors made gifts totaling nearly $5,000. With that seed money, students were able to grow more than 1,300 pounds of produce for the local food pantry. But that was only part of the story.
