Children's Wisconsin
Giving Day
Children’s Wisconsin launched a dynamic Giving Day campaign featuring a custom landing page with emotional storytelling, interactive tools, and a seamless donation experience. A nine-part email series, enhanced with engaging visuals and donor quotes, built momentum throughout the campaign. This innovative approach successfully blended technology and storytelling to drive donor engagement.
Project Highlights
Our Solution:
Landing Page:
Created a custom landing page with Engaging Networks. The page featured a seamless donation experience, downloadable social media kit, real-time animated thermometer to track progress, and heartfelt patient stories to connect with donors emotionally.
Email Campaign:
A nine-part email series was designed to create momentum before, during, and after Giving Day. These emails featured custom enhancements such as a countdown clock, an animated thermometer, and quotes from donors. Emails were followed by an autoresponder as an additional touchpoint with donors.
Abandoned Cart Email:
An abandoned cart email was also sent to people who clicked on the donation form but didn’t donate. This email had the highest click-through rate despite being sent to a smaller audience group.
The Result:
We were able to help Children’s Wisconsin create and launch a customized campaign that blended storytelling with innovative tools. This enabled them to push Giving Day to their donors in a refreshing way.
Looking for fresh ways to engage your donors with innovative digital campaigns?
Let’s make your Giving Day unforgettable.
- The Coast Guard Foundation wanted to close out the year by helping supporters clearly see the real-world impact of their generosity—beyond a single donation or campaign. Their goal was to launch MyImpact, a personalized experience that connected donor giving to tangible outcomes like scholarships, rescues, and family support, while setting the stage for stronger engagement in 2026 and beyond.
- Richstone Family Center depends on volunteers to support many of its programs, but their screening process involved a lot of manual work. Staff had to read through every application, figure out where someone might be a good fit, note any concerns, and then follow up to schedule interviews. It was effective, but time-consuming for Richstone staff, and it slowed down how quickly new volunteers could get involved.
- Through its August stewardship campaign, Coast Guard Foundation wanted to cultivate and increase engagement with Guardians Circle donors by strengthening relationships with donors who had already shared their phone numbers and encouraging those who had not, to opt in—ultimately expanding its mobile audience.
