“We published the campaign on a Tuesday night and woke up to 200 donors. By the end of the week we had covered the surgery costs entirely.”
Dr. Elena Patel
Program Director, Sunrise Children's Clinic
The Sunrise Children's Clinic campaign raised $126,000 in 18 days to fund mobile pediatric care visits for families in rural counties. With Givvent, Dr. Patel's team could publish instantly, post updates after every clinic run, and watch the community rally in real time. The verified badge gave first-time donors confidence to give, and the cover-fees option meant nearly every donation landed in full.

“I give $25 a month and I get an update from the organizer every few weeks. I can actually see what my money is doing.”
Jordan L.
Monthly donor, Bright Futures Scholarship Fund
Jordan started a recurring monthly donation after reading the Bright Futures campaign story. She appreciated that the organizer posted regular updates showing how funds were used for student laptops and mentor matching. Using Apple Pay at checkout, her first donation took under 30 seconds. She has now donated every month for six months.
“We had no budget for ads or outreach. We shared the link once and the neighborhood took it from there.”
Samir Holt
Environmental Lead, Oak Grove Tree Canopy
Samir launched the Oak Grove Tree Canopy campaign to plant shade trees across a low-income neighborhood. Starting with just a phone and a story about heat islands and schoolyard shade, he posted updates with before-and-after photos. Donors shared the campaign widely. Over 1,100 people gave. The campaign reached 67% of its goal in the first two weeks.

“I found the campaign by searching "food" on Givvent. It was local, it was real, and I could see exactly who was behind it.”
Taylor P.
First-time donor, Neighborhood Food Bridge
Taylor was looking for a local cause to support and found the Neighborhood Food Bridge campaign while browsing the Community category. He read the full story, saw the organizer's name and photo, and felt confident giving. He donated anonymously so his coworkers wouldn't know, but the campaign still counted his contribution. He's since followed the campaign and received three organizer updates.
“We scheduled our campaign to launch on a Saturday morning. By Sunday night we had more donors than we'd had in three years of traditional fundraising.”
Caleb Stone
Rescue Operations Lead, Riverbend Wildlife Rescue
The Riverbend Wildlife Rescue team used Givvent's scheduled launch feature to time their campaign announcement with a social media post. They enabled a Coming Soon page a week early so supporters could bookmark the campaign before it opened. When donations opened Saturday morning, the early buzz carried them to 40% of their goal in the first 48 hours. The new rehabilitation aviary is now complete.
