SUMMARY
Amidst a declining donor environment that saw more charities spending big on their causes, Pathways to Education needed to find a way to not only make high school graduation seem important but also attract higher value donors to offset pandemic declines in new donor revenue . By dramatizing the distance between students living in low-income communities and their education, Pathways acquired higher value donors that grew new donor revenue by 112% and increased monthly donor revenue by 148% vs pre-pandemic highs.
