How Every Shelter's GivingTuesday Quiz Generated 170+ New Contacts & Automatic Gifts with Lauren Hanson

How can you use a quiz to elevate your nonprofit’s fundraising goals?

I’m excited to bring back Lauren Hanson from Every Shelter, to share the nuts and bolts of their successful GivingTuesday quiz that generated 170+ new contacts AND counting.

Inspired by The Adventure Project, who deployed a similar strategy (see Episode 7!), Lauren breaks down the easy-to-use quiz maker she used, and the 4-part email sequence that follows, inviting participants to join their monthly giving program, The Haven.

From crafting recycled billboard bags with Ugandan refugee tailors to painting a powerful mural in Brooklyn, collaboration is at the heart of all of Every Shelter’s campaigns, amplifying support for displaced refugees in East Africa. 

This episode proves that with a little creativity and a compelling quiz, nonprofits can create lasting impact and inspire change.
