This time saved is even higher during Stadia\u2019s major fundraising season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GoFundMe Pro&#8217;s Salesforce integration\u2019s bi-directional sync allows a near real-time sync that matches data in both systems. Since the data is trustworthy, all contacts are matched in GoFundMe Pro and Salesforce, and supporters can keep their own information, like their address and credit card information, updated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-peer-to-peer-fundraising-brings-in-new-recurring-donors\">Peer-to-peer fundraising brings in new recurring donors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since joining the GoFundMe Pro community, Stadia has been growing <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/peer-to-peer-fundraising\/\">peer-to-peer fundraising<\/a> as part of its overall fundraising strategy to help acquire new donors. Every staff member at Stadia has an annual fundraising goal, so they can quickly set up a fundraising page for the annual \u201cGo The Extra Mile\u201d fundraiser and appeal to their networks via the built-in social sharing capabilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team utilizes templates to keep the branding consistent across fundraising pages, and a seamless checkout process that offers <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/fundraising-solutions\/classy-pay\/\">multiple payment options<\/a> makes it easy for donors to give. The ease of fundraising, sharing, and giving on GoFundMe Pro helped Stadia bring in <strong>100 new donors from this campaign last year<\/strong> and achieve a <strong>peer-to-peer conversion rate 25% higher than the industry average!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"classy-quote\">\n    <blockquote>\n      <p class=\"quote-content\">GoFundMe Pro has been hands-down the best tool that keeps us modern and looking fresh. Peer-to-peer fundraising, that\u2019s been supported in GoFundMe Pro, has helped us tap into networks and find donors who share our vision. We\u2019ve even heard from donors that their giving experience has been quick and easy!<\/p>\n\n      \n        <footer>\n                    <p class=\"cite-name\">Laura Pedroni<\/p>\n<p class=\"cite-role\">Former Director of Information Technology<\/p>\n                  <\/footer>\n\n      \n      <\/blockquote>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n  \n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1656\" height=\"938\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/extra-mile_desktop.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33198\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Stadia\u2019s peer-to-peer fundraiser, \u201cGo The Extra Mile\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the \u201cGo The Extra Mile\u201d fundraiser, Stadia staff members participate in quarterly fundraising work days, where they spend time connecting with potential donors to highlight Stadia\u2019s mission impact. These staff-based initiatives act as entry points for not only new one-time donors but also donors who want to give on a regular basis, and they help the staff achieve their fundraising goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Out of its total online revenue on GoFundMe Pro, recurring donations make up 45%. <\/strong>With GoFundMe Pro and Salesforce, Stadia has trustworthy data and can build a comprehensive communication strategy for its recurring donor base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"classy-quote\">\n    <blockquote>\n      <p class=\"quote-content\">At Stadia, we have a robust care plan that celebrates donor generosity.

The more they are able to raise and the more donors they bring in to support their mission, the more they are able to spread the hope of Jesus even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, Stadia is planning even more peer-to-peer fundraisers, one of which will be an organized trek to Machu Picchu. Each fundraiser will have a GoFundMe Pro fundraising page and individual and team fundraising goals, and they will finish off the fundraising season with a trek!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\nfigcaption { text-align: center; }\n<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A smooth rollout to a new fundraising platform While in search of a fundraising platform that was more user-friendly, both for the marketing and development teams and supporters, Stadia found GoFundMe Pro.
