The Take a Hike Foundation is changing lives and empowering youth.
Over the past twenty years, Take a Hike has developed a proven, trauma-informed, evidence-based program model that has transformed the lives of hundreds of youth in B.C. along with their families.
Take a Hike partners with public school districts to engage vulnerable youth in full-time mental health and emotional well-being programs embedded in alternate education classrooms. Their mission is clear: to empower vulnerable youth with the skills and resilience they need to graduate high school, build healthy relationships, navigate the challenges of young adulthood, and achieve success – however they define it.
And the results speak for themselves:
To ensure they’re supporting their mission, they want to increase recurring donors and find new major donors that believe in their cause.
Take a Hike Foundation decided to take action. Using Fundraising KIT, they’re able to become a more data-driven organization by utilizing their own data to create segmented and targeted donor communications, find more major donors, and encourage existing donors to give more.
Take a Hike Foundation was easily able to use Fundraising KIT as KIT connects directly with leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms. In minutes, KIT’s tools start analyzing data to help nonprofits identify donors who are ready to make a bigger impact and strengthen donor relationships in the most efficient way possible.

Major Donors are the Key
Major donors are the key to a financially stable nonprofit organization. Studies show that, on average, over 88% of all nonprofit funding comes from just 12% of donors.
Identifying who these donors are and how they engage with your organization is essential to building a personalized donor experience and streamlining your fundraising. With Fundraising KIT’s tools, that’s exactly what Take a Hike Foundation intends to do!
They are looking to identify contacts in their own database with the right donation histories and wealth indicators to become major donors. With Fundraising KIT, Take a Hike will be able to easily prioritize and connect with a list of donors who are ready to make a bigger impact, build lasting relationships, and increase fundraising revenue to drive their mission forward.
Recurring Donations Offer Financial Stability
Donors who set up recurring donations give 42% more annually than one-time donors, so it’s no wonder recurring donation options offer increased financial stability for nonprofits. However, identifying who’s ready to become a monthly donor can be quite the challenge.
