Versus Arthritis Raised Over £135,000 With A £1,900 Media Spend



The Facebook Challenge was a first of its kind for Versus Arthritis and in their own words, “they entered into it blind!”

Like most nonprofits, they were trying to think of different ways to raise funds when Covid19 lockdown struck.

The challenge Versus Arthritis faced was how to get Fundraisers to register for their Facebook Challenge and then track their registration all the way through to their fundraiser on Facebook and thanking them once their page was set up.

This is where GivePanel stepped in.

Versus Arthritis do everything they can to push back against Arthritis.

Together, they continue to develop breakthrough treatments, campaign relentlessly for arthritis to be seen as a priority and support the 10 million people living with arthritis. Their ambition is to ensure that one day no one will have to live with the pain, fatigue and isolation that arthritis causes.

A Facebook Challenge is a virtual event that runs solely on Facebook and leverages the power of social networking through ads, groups and fundraisers. This means: 

  • Lower acquisition costs
  • More fundraisers
  • And a chance to meet supporters where they already are!

Versus Arthritis used GivePanel’s Event Registration form to register people from the Facebook Challenge Group. By processing all of their event participations through GivePanel, Versus Arthritis were able to see when each person set up their fundraising page using our fundraiser matching tool.

Being able to match event registrations with Facebook fundraisers saved the team a huge amount of time managing the data and enabled them to dedicate time to those who were taking part in the month long Challenge.

The VA team preloaded two message templates into GivePanel which were sent to every fundraiser. This included a ‘Welcome and Thank You’ message that was posted on Facebook fundraisers pages at the start and a ‘Thank You and Survey’ message posted towards the end of the event.

This messaging strategy contributed to £157 average raised per Fundraiser – 15% above the UK average.

“Messaging our supporters was so easy and we loved that an unlimited number of staff could use GivePanel at the same time.

The page locks once someone is in it so staff could move on quickly to the next. Also, it was great to be able to send our fulfillment company the t-shirt order directly via a spreadsheet generated in GivePanel.”
