Challenge

The Kidney Foundation of Central Pennsylvania (KFCP), an organization dedicated to the fight against kidney disease since 1979, faced challenges in scaling their fundraising efforts to meet the growing demands for their services. With a small team and limited resources, KFCP needed a reliable partner to help enhance their donor engagement, run efficient fundraising campaigns, and expand their community outreach. As the demand for their services grew, so did the necessity for a robust platform and a supportive customer success team to manage these increasing needs.

Results

Since partnering with Kindest, KFCP has seen transformative results, including a remarkable 89.2% year-over-year increase in donations from 2023 to 2024. This surge contributed to almost doubling the total donations raised in 2024 compared to 2023, empowering KFCP to further their mission of supporting individuals impacted by kidney disease while advocating for organ donation and providing critical community education.
