GIVING BACK

For years, I was involved as a volunteer/advisor for Kidstown International, before starting a part-time role with the organization. During my time there, I assisted in multiple campaigns, fundraising activations, newsletter and social media strategies, and a rebrand. 

​

My proudest moment during this time was a 24-hour fundraising effort within my first three months on staff for Giving Tuesday, called #GIVE38. The goal was to gain new donors, from the 20-35 year-old age demographic, by eliminating a long-term commitment of sponsoring a child. To do this, I initiated #GIVE38, where anyone could give $38 to cover the sponsorship costs of a child for just one month. This campaign led to a record breaking 24-hour fundraiser, with over $10,000 raised, and 25+ new full-time sponsors. 

​

I continue to sponsor multiple kids and have remained involved since leaving my part-time role.
