GoFundMe Pro rose to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"classy-quote\">\n    <blockquote>\n      <p class=\"quote-content\">GoFundMe Pro was the one platform where, when we would go to other nonprofits and ask their opinion, they always had good feedback. That\u2019s really what sealed the deal for us.<\/p>\n\n      \n        <footer>\n                    <p class=\"cite-name\">Lauren Johnson<\/p>\n<p class=\"cite-role\">Annual Giving Manager<\/p>\n                  <\/footer>\n\n      \n      <\/blockquote>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n  \n\n\n\n<p>After coming on board, the Grand Canyon Conservancy team dove right into a thoughtfully planned onboarding process. They explored the platform, attended live trainings, worked closely with their Implementation Project Manager, and quickly got their main donation page and membership pages up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fast-fire-response-with-campaign-studio\">Fast fire response with Campaign Studio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Dragon Bravo Fire fire broke out impacting the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon Conservancy jumped into action, taking their learnings from GoFundMe Pro\u2019s onboarding and quickly creating a campaign using Campaign Studio to start accepting donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team\u2019s strategic approach made all the difference. Supporters could make a gift without ever leaving the page, and knowing that many people would be donating from their phones, they placed the donation widget above the fold for the best mobile experience. Plus, the donation page itself told their story beautifully, with thoughtfully chosen content blocks and striking imagery that illustrated the park\u2019s resilience even in the face of disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"classy-quote\">\n    <blockquote>\n      <p class=\"quote-content\">We\u2019ve been able to quickly and effortlessly update our Studio campaign in real time\u2014whether adding new content and FAQs, or sharing the latest updates on the fire\u2014so our supporters always have the most accurate and timely information all in one place.<\/p>\n\n      \n        <footer>\n                    <p class=\"cite-name\">Caity Varian<\/p>\n<p class=\"cite-role\">Senior Marketing Manager<\/p>\n                  <\/footer>\n\n      \n      <\/blockquote>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n  \n\n\n\n<p><strong>The campaign has raised over $300,000 in one month from almost 2,000 individual donors, over half of whom were new to Grand Canyon Conservancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n  <div class=\"classy-quote\">\n    <blockquote>\n      <p class=\"quote-content\">The Disaster Recovery Fund campaign alone has brought in over a thousand new donors, which has been heartening to see.

Restoration will not happen overnight and may take years to fully recover, but they are ready to begin as soon as it\u2019s safe and they have access. The community\u2019s support\u2014whether through donations, spreading word about the Conservancy, or sharing on social media\u2014has made all the difference in helping the region heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the organization is preparing for its Celebration of Art event. For the first time, the team will use GoFundMe Pro\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/gofundme.to\/__proxy\/pro.gofundme.com\/c\/solutions\/live-events\/\">Live Events<\/a> tool for the online auction. As they are preparing for the event, the Live Events tool has already proven to be easy to use and efficient, and they are eager to see how the event unfolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Caity&#8217;s GoFundMe Pro tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Source codes have been extremely helpful for us lately, especially when one of our partners wants to, for example, share our Disaster Recovery Fund campaign on their social channels. I can easily create a source code specific to them, so I can report back on how well the posts performed and how many donations came in that we can attribute to their posts. It\u2019s been a game-changer in our tracking capabilities with very little lift.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lauren&#8217;s GoFundMe Pro tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the campaign insights to get a quick snapshot of each campaign\u2019s performance in terms of revenue, one-time vs. recurring donations, conversion rates, donor-covered fees, and more. It has everything that you need to understand the success of a campaign.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save yourself time and duplicate campaigns. It has been so helpful for us, especially during a crisis or emergency, like the fires, to copy a campaign, change a few things, and voila, it\u2019s a brand new, usable campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<style>\nfigcaption { text-align: center; }\n.flex-three-cols .inner h3 { font-size: 33px; white-space: nowrap; }\n.cs-header .cs-logo img { width: auto; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quickly finding and adopting a new fundraising platform Grand Canyon Conservancy was not happy anymore with their former fundraising platform\u2019s lack of customization and payment options, so the team started putting feelers out and setting up demos with alternative platforms.
