Feeding San Diego pivoted during the pandemic to serve a growing population facing hunger. To fulfill its mission, the organization doubled down on online fundraising.
A March relief campaign, followed by two more fundraising campaigns and then their holiday peer-to-peer campaign—all on Classy—drove online giving up by 760% year over year in December alone.
The ability to quickly launch a variety of campaigns from March 2020 to January 2021 led to widespread success with a total of $5.4 million raised online to support hunger relief, as well as 721 new recurring donors — 79% of which elected to cover fees.
