Getting Organized for Giving Season
Riley Children’s Foundation supports children by funding pediatric research, education and care, leading to accessible and exceptional healthcare. During year-end, Riley activates loyal donors and advocates to drive fundraising and expand brand awareness to new audiences.
With giving season on the horizon, Riley Children’s Foundation leverages Classy for Salesforce to create an integrated, multi-channel approach to optimize fundraising and donor communications. With Salesforce, they are able to get a unified view of their supporter data and generate dynamic reports of key audiences. By utilizing Classy, personalized give suggestions are crafted based on the donor’s giving history and acquisition source.
Specialized Content Drives Constituent Engagement
In addition to utilizing Pardot to send personalized emails, Riley Children’s Foundation also creates a unique strategy around storytelling and content to further boost engagement on social media and their webpages.
To unify campaign messaging across marketing channels, three grateful patients are selected to have their stories told. Unique Classy donation pages are created featuring each child. Supporters who click a child’s ad are led to the donation page customized to feature that same child’s story.
While their Giving Tuesday campaign is baked into their year-end strategy, it has unique elements that allow for specific engagement on Giving Tuesday itself. To start, Riley Children’s Foundation created a unique Giving Tuesday web address (www.RileyGivingTuesday.org) that directs to a Classy crowdfunding campaign, keeping the audience updated on the progress made towards their fundraising goals.
During the year-end campaign, Riley advocates act as email senders and signatories. Grateful patient families participate in social content, which include visible progress of the campaign, milestone celebrations, and consistent messaging.
