Solving a technical challenge with GoFundMe Pro’s help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego<\/a> (RMHCSD) joined the GoFundMe Pro community late last year in part because of GoFundMe Pro’s native integration with Salesforce<\/a>. Since this integration can be time-consuming, RMHCSD initially planned to complete it after its peak fundraising period to avoid any downtime. However, waiting until after the new year would delay their return on investment in the GoFundMe Pro platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GoFundMe Pro Coaching team advised RMHCSD to launch their first campaign on GoFundMe Pro and later use historical sync<\/a> to transfer donor data once the Salesforce integration was complete. This approach accelerated their timeline, allowing them to start seeing immediate ROI from GoFundMe Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onboarding to a new platform at year-end<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With step-by-step resources from Class Academy, virtual training sessions, and GoFundMe Pro’s reliable support team, RMHCSD felt empowered with a fundraising tool that aligned with their goals. These tools allowed the team to learn the GoFundMe Pro platform at their own pace, fitting both their schedules and fundraising objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In less than one month, they gained confidence in using GoFundMe Pro, setting up a pop-up donation form on their homepage and an abandoned cart notification to remind potential donors to complete their gifts. This streamlined the donation process for year-end donors, reducing abandonment rates and leading to a significant increase in year-over-year donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
