Saint Elizabeth saw a 15% growth in donations (YoY) with GiveCentral
During the pandemic outbreak, many nonprofit organizations chose to focus messaging on the needs of parishioners, while also highlighting relevant COVID-19 information. This general messaging seems to have resonated with the donors because since the start of the pandemic, dollars raised online are 10% higher than during the same period in 2019.

Saint Elizabeth in Robinson Illinois is one such parish. They were quick to optimize their digital assets- like the website, social media channels to include the most recent masses, the donation options and bulletins at prominent places on the website.
The Donate Now link at the top of St Elizabeth’s landing page, as well as the Donate Now button near the bottom of the landing page, lead straight to the GiveCentral Page for the parish, where donors can choose the event, giving frequency and gift size and make a donation real quick.
These simple measures helped them achieve a 15% growth over last year in their online giving.
