How FDF super charged
their fundraising with GiveMatch

Freedom Development Foundation’s Mission

Freedom Pigott founded the Freedom Development Foundation (FDF) to create a tangible difference to families in rural African villages. FDF’s mission is to provide families with the freedom to believe that tomorrow will be better, driving sustainable, long-term change that will benefit future generations.

By working closely with volunteers and local communities, FDF adopts a holistic approach ranging from providing clean water, to empowering local farmers through innovative agricultural programs.

Looking ahead, FDF is developing technical solutions to address the challenges of accessing bank accounts, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that financial resources reach those who need them most.

‍

The Challenge

FDF wanted to increase the marketing outreach of their campaigns and make the most of the resources
within their small team.

Our Solution

FDF successfully launched multiple fundraisers through the GiveMatch platform, including organising a team of 19 volunteers who participated in a Dragon Boat Race. Each volunteer used GiveMatch to ask for support from friends and family, encouraging donations for the cause.

Throughout the campaign, FDF collaborated closely with their dedicated Customer Success Manager, who provided tailored support in crafting a compelling story for their fundraiser as well as offering strategic advice on maximising outreach and impact to help meet the campaign’s goals.

Our Impact

After the Dragon Boat Race, FDF and their team raised more than £1,837 through the support of over 170 donors. We significantly boosted their effort by contributing an additional £1,704, bringing the
total amount raised to £3,541.
