How BGCW Upgraded Event Donors to Major Supporters, Raising $125K in Year One
About the Company
The Boys & Girls Club of Whittier inspires and enables all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. The Club provides youth development programs and services across Whittier and Pico Rivera, supported by strong attendance and annual fundraising events.
The Challenge
While annual events drew reliable support, BGCW had no formal major gifts strategy. This meant the organization wasn’t converting loyal event attendees into long-term, mission-focused supporters.
The Solution
Philanthropy Systems collaborated with BGCW to:
-
Segment event donors and identify high-potential individuals.
-
Create moves management plans, cultivation touchpoints, and stewardship strategies.
-
Train staff and board on donor-centered engagement and solicitation.
Results
In the first year, BGCW upgraded over $125k from event attendees to mission-driven annual supporters.
