New Donors
Drafting Donors to Block Hunger kickstarted a recurring giving program
In 2017, Travis Frederick, a former NFL center for the Cowboys started a foundation to fight childhood hunger in Dallas County. In 2020, that foundation was rebranded to the Blocking Hunger Foundation with the help of the Knight Eady creative agency.
They paired their fresh look with the simple experience of Classy’s crowdfunding campaigns to bring Travis’ vision to life and open the door to more involvement.
