The Challenge
Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities was in dire need of reliable transportation for their recovery program residents. Because summer is an ideal time to reach targeted, high-level donors, they set an ambitious goal to raise $150,000 through a multi-channel, major donor campaign.
The Solution
BDI’s print and digital strategies featured:
- Follow up from Major Gift Officers
- Clear mailer for brochure to show through
- Interactive, vertical map-like brochure
- Integrated email and donation page
- Highly selective segmentation and ask strategy to increase revenue

The Results
The campaign exceeded its goal to fund a 15-passenger bus and minivan for the Mission’s residents! Notably, the Mission received several phone calls from donors interested in meeting a stretch ask ($30,000) for the cost of an entire van.
