The Thistle Foundation supports thousands of people with disabilities and long-term health conditions to achieve what matters most to them.
Before Raisely, they faced significant challenges with outdated and cumbersome donation forms and fundraising processes. Relying on PayPal Donate forms and Online Express by Raisers Edge, they struggled with managing multiple payment processors, leading to a chaotic and inefficient experience for donors.
Setting up regular donations required manual intervention for each donor, and any changes to donation pages necessitated costly web developer assistance, adding to the inefficiency.
Raisely has had a transformative impact on Thistle Foundation's fundraising efforts. The streamlined processes and enhanced functionalities have significantly improved the efficiency and engagement of our campaigns.
Partnering with Raisely, Thistle Foundation revolutionised its fundraising efforts. Raisely provided a comprehensive, user-friendly platform that addressed all their needs in a single product.
Even features they hadn’t initially considered, such as email integration, were seamlessly incorporated, making the platform feel tailor-made for their needs. A standout feature was the regular giving prompt, fulfilling a long-standing aspiration for Thistle Foundation. Additionally, advanced features like donation streams and leaderboards significantly enhanced their fundraising capabilities.
Raisely's diverse range of customisable templates also allowed Thistle Foundation to create engaging fundraising campaigns without incurring significant costs from web developers.
Currently, Thistle Foundation uses Raisely for appeals and donation forms, with plans to explore peer-to-peer events, such as the Edinburgh Kilt Walk, leveraging Raisely's capabilities to their full potential.
Their success so far has been outstanding, exceeding their fundraising target by 6x on their appeal with Raisely!
