Insight for Living Honored at Fourth Annual Convio Client Summit
AUSTIN, Texas - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Insight for Living, the Bible-teaching radio ministry of Chuck
Swindoll, was presented with an Innovator Award in the Best Use of
Convio Open category for their creative implementation of the Donations
API to enhance a year-end fundraising campaign. All award winners
were recognized at a ceremony last night at the Convio
Summit, the company's annual conference where more than 650
nonprofit clients, partners and industry thought leaders gather as a
community to share common experiences and effective strategies for
nonprofits.
"Like many other non-profit ministries, we could not fulfill our mission
without the generous support and donations from our partners," said Todd
Turner, Vice President of Web Ministries. "The funds raised online are
vital to our organization, so being awarded for our innovative use of
the Donation API is great confirmation that we've created a more
effective way for our supporters to contribute to our goal of using
technology to further Insight for Living's objectives."
Insight for Living received the Best Use of Open award for their
innovative use of a donation form widget built into the web page wrapper
to boost their year-end fundraising campaign. This method provided
supporters with an easy and streamlined way to donate online without
leaving the page they visited. Being one of the first among faith-based
nonprofit organizations to leverage the Donations API, Insight for
Living was able to integrate their fundraising efforts to other branded
offline and online efforts. As a result, the organization experienced
incremental growth of $185,000 in funds raised over the previous year's
campaign using the donation form widget above and beyond the monies
raised via the standard donation form page. Nine other nonprofits
received Innovator Awards and were recognized in categories including
Advocacy, CRM Visionary with Common Ground , Constituent Empowerment,
Email Communications, List Growth, Online Fundraising, Overall Use of
Convio, Special Events and Best Website. All Convio clients were
eligible to submit for the awards.
"Our clients are leading the charge in embracing online technologies to
create stronger relationships with their constituents and cultivate
support for their missions," said Gene Austin, CEO of Convio.
"Recognizing the success of our clients at Summit with our annual
Innovator Award ceremony allows the entire nonprofit community to learn
from each other's unique and best-in-class strategies for fundraising,
advocacy, events and managing supporter interaction."
