GoMobile: Big Brothers Big Sisters
Did you know that consumers spend more time on mobile applications than on the web? Or that Americans spend 2.7 hours per day, on average, socializing on their mobile phones?
The first mobile tool of its kind, Zuri Group’s GoMobile fundraising solution is now available to help organizations leverage this trend to increase fundraising results. GoMobile extends the reach of Blackbaud Sphere’s Friends Asking Friends (FAF) and Blackbaud’s newly acquired TeamRaiser fundraising platforms to iPhone and Android phones. Learn More! Heart and Stroke of Canada: Fundraising through social media.
Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada holds over 500 supporter participation events a year. Zuri Group worked with HSFC to bring those events into the Facebook community in an easy and dynamic way. Our integrated Facebook Share tools have brought new donors and participants to the events. With no extra effort at all current participants have increased their fundraising efforts simply allowing our Automated Newsfeed tool to publish marketing messages on their wall. Both of these tools have increased donations and increase visibility substantially for the event.
Impactful Donation Pages. Human Rights Watch.
Zuri Group created custom donation forms and landing pages to optimize the impact of banner ads promoting women’s and human rights. The impact of live video on the form reinforced the campaign messaging, creating a case for giving and further drove donations on the forms.
Social Fundraising Plug-ins.
Heifer International’s Team Heifer external site badge. Heifer International wanted to give participants of their Team Heifer individual fundraising event more tools to help drive donations and build visibility for the event. Zuri Group developed the ‘blog badge’ — a graphic participants embed on their blogs or websites. Site visitors who click on the badges are able to donate directly to their friends’ Team Heifer goal using one of Heifer’s four payment gateways.
Advocacy on Facebook. Amnesty International USA.
Amnesty and Zuri Group partnered together to build the first generation Amnesty Advocacy Center on Facebook. This all-in-one application allows facebook users to take action on pressing issues, donate and share the action without ever leaving the facebook site. AIUSA selects featured actions, adds in custom text and shares copy; all from the admin tool accompanying the application. This easy to use toolset is set to launch in January of 2011.
Autism Speaks U.
Zuri collaborated with Autism Speaks on this innovative fundraising initiative for college students. This combination of Sphere’s Custom Friends Asking Friends module and a Zuri-hosted PHP and Ajax solution allows students to create their own fundraising events in a totally self-serve environment. Students can create their own events, sell tickets, invite friends, promote on Facebook or Twitter, and get reports on money raised. 
Save the Children. Strategic Research.
Zuri Group was contacted by Save the Children to help prepare for their upcoming website redesign and software platform migration. Zuri conducted comprehensive research including Web analytics; internal stakeholder needs; audience satisfaction and segmentation; competitive analysis; and focus groups and audience telephone interviews. Based on the findings, Zuri Group delivered a full recommendations document to inform next phase of the project.
Heifer International, Amnesty International & IFAW. Payment Processor integration and reporting.
Heifer International, Amnesty International USA and the International Fund for Animal Welfare needed a partner who could integrate 3rd party payment processors into their existing donation process. Zuri Group integrated the Amazon, Paypal and Google Checkout API processes with existing donation forms, built a web database to collect and organize transaction information in real time; and even created an administration dashboard which collects, organizes and exports data for all revenue sources. The technical implementation was completed by Zuri Group quickly and cost effectively.
