Ensuring a Future By Enlisting Champions

Motherhood Beyond Bars ensures a healthy start for infants born to incarcerated women through a support network for mothers and caregivers.

Goal

The Motherhood Beyond Bars (MBB) team needed to recruit new donors who were deeply invested in MBB's vision of a permanent end to cycles of incarceration in families.

Strategy

We designed and implemented an End-of-Year fundraising campaign that told the story of MBB's vital work and demonstrated how much more they could do with increased capacity.

Telling the Right Story

We focused on developing the most compelling story and sending it to the right audiences, with a result that nearly doubled their annual fundraising from the prior year.

Making Each Donation Special

We ensured each funder knew where every dollar would be used and how much further MBB would go with their support. Our campaign brought in more than 140 donors who contributed to MBB for the first time.

“What’s unique about GGS is that everything they work on is because their heart is truly in it. They always hold the big picture goals of the work at the center. I was blown away at how quickly my GGS strategist was able to capture my voice and reach potential donors and existing donors with the most beautiful messages.”
