With digital trends constantly evolving, the AHAH team recognized the need to stay on top of social media trends, new ad formats, and shifting donor behavior. All of this called for an advanced, data-driven approach to fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A powerful emergency fundraising campaign strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To be prepared to react quickly whenever a disaster or emergency strikes, AHAH created an evergreen Disaster Relief Fund using GoFundMe Pro\u2019s campaign builder, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classy.org\/donation-websites\/\">Studio<\/a>. Studio&#8217;s customization, no-code capabilities, and fast page speeds made it the ideal tool to save the internal team time and simplify the giving experience for donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1149\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/all-hands-and-hearts_desktop.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32233\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Evergreen disaster relief Studio campaign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AHAH also partnered with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.communityboost.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Community Boost<\/a>, a nonprofit digital marketing agency, to polish its campaigns and get in front of the right people. The Community Boost team prepared ad variations in advance across Google and Meta, so it could launch as soon as a disaster arose. The call to action (CTA) for each ad linked directly to the Disaster Relief Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1431\" src=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/all-hands-and-hearts_mobile-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32236\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>Meta ad example<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"classy-quote\">\n    <blockquote>\n      <p class=\"quote-content\">GoFundMe Pro\u2019s landing pages have been a game-changer for the campaigns we run.
