St. Andrew’s uses GiveCampus to grow online giving revenue as new fundraisers take the reins
St. Andrew’s Episcopal School (SAES) is a private, pre-K–12 school that serves more than 700 students in the Potomac region of Maryland. They partnered with GiveCampus to help streamline their online fundraising efforts.
The school partnered with GiveCampus in 2017
Adrien McDonald was fairly new to both fundraising and SAES when he became Director of the Lions Fund. Fortunately, he and fellow newbie Kelli Prange were able to easily onboard with GiveCampus—fast.
