Raising More to Do More
In 2021, Beat the Streets National chose Classy as its technology partner to help reach and empower underserved youth across the country. Soon after, the nonprofit launched its first campaign on the platform, the Gear Up! campaign.
Optimized with flexible, frictionless payment options and effortless shareability via Classy for Facebook, the annual Gear Up! Initiative, now in its second year, had led to major success. Since the campaign’s inception, Beat the Streets has attracted over 250 new donors and funded more than $350,000 of gear for youth in need.
The nonprofit currently serves 8,400 youth across 10 accredited chapters. With intentions to more than triple its existing chapter footprint by 2028, the organization expanded its toolbox
on Classy.
The tools we use are a big part of bringing people into our network. The design of our Gear Up! campaign on Classy really motivated people to be a part of it.
Beat the Streets National leverages the following platform features to optimize its campaigns for conversion:
- PayPal, Venmo, & ACH
- Classy for Facebook
- Classy for Salesforce

Classy’s technology and Beat the Streets’ ambition will synergize to enable personalized connection at scale.
As the organization expands, its need for scalable tech increases. Beat the Streets can ensure its offerings meet the needs of its organization, as well as the needs of its new and loyal donors, with Classy by its side.
Now is the time for Beat the Streets National to keep reliability at the forefront of every action and business decision.
The nonprofit leans on Classy’s Customer Care Team and Trust & Security Team, which provides 24/7/365 security scanning and threat monitoring, to ensure its donors receive the excellent experience they deserve.
