Fundraising Experiences with OneCause & DonorDrive

OneCause and DonorDrive work together to power the moments that drive nonprofit revenue, from high-stake events to scalable peer-to-peer campaigns and individual giving. Instead of managing disconnected tools, you gain a coordinated approach that improves execution, increases participation, and turns one-time interactions into sustained growth.

Nonprofits today are under pressure to deliver high-impact fundraising experiences with limited time, staff, and systems. The organizations that succeed are not adding more tactics; they are improving how each fundraising moment performs and connects to the next.

Understanding how each solution fits into your fundraising strategy

OneCase and DonorDrive are designed to support different types of fundraising moments. They are not interchangeable tools, but purpose-built solutions that work best when applied to the right context.

OneCause

Built for flawless execution across the full event lifecycle

OneCause is designed for high-stakes fundraising events where execution, donor experience, and real-time performance directly impact revenue outcomes. It supports the full lifecycle of an event, from planning and promotion to live execution and post-event reconciliation.

DonorDrive

Built to activate supporters and scale fundraising beyond the event

DonorDrive is designed to turn supporters into fundraisers, helping organizations expand reach, increase participation, and drive revenue through peer-to-peer and digital campaigns.

It focuses on engagement and activation, ensuring supporters to not just give once, but actively bring others into your mission.

What it enables across your campaign strategy

AREA	WHAT DONORDRIVE DELIVERS	WHY IT MATTERS
Supporter experience	Native mobile app, express checkout, digital wallets, and seamless sharing tools	Makes it easy for supporters to fundraise and for donors to give instantly

DonorDrive is best suited for organizations running peer-to-peer events, community campaigns, endurance programs, and year-round fundraising initiatives where growth depends on supporter activation.

Organizations using DonorDrive activate up to 3x more fundraisers and significantly reduce campaign setup time.

Built for events, peer-to-peer, and everything in between

Each solution delivers strong results on its own, but the real value comes from how they work together to create a connected fundraising system that supports long-term growth.

A supporter may attend your gala and have a seamless experience powered by OneCause, increasing both their likelihood to give and their connection to your mission. From there, that same supporter can become a fundraiser through DonorDrive, activating their network and bringing in new donors who may not have engaged otherwise.

As those new donors participate in campaigns and give over time, many continue their journey by showing up at future events, creating a natural progression from first interaction to long-term support.

This is how separate fundraising efforts become a continuous cycle of participation, engagement, and revenue growth, where each moment builds on the last instead of standing alone.

Decide what your organization needs

The right starting point depends on how your organization currently drives revenue and where you want to grow.

If your fundraising relies heavily on in-person or hybrid events with auctions, ticketing, and sponsorships, OneCause will deliver immediate impact by improving execution and maximizing event revenue.

If your strategy is focused on expanding reach, increasing participation, and activating supporters to fundraise on your behalf, DonorDrive will drive growth through peer-to-peer and digital campaigns.

If both of these describe your organization, using OneCause and DonorDrive together will provide the most value by connecting your fundraising efforts across events and campaigns.

Organizations raising more than $500,000 online annually and running both events and peer-to-peer programs typically benefit most from adopting both tools as part of a unified strategy.

Build a fundraising strategy that works across every moment

Your events, campaigns, and donor experiences are not separate strategies. They are connected opportunities to engage supporters, increase revenue, and build lasting relationships.

Together, OneCause and DonorDrive bring those opportunities into focus, giving your team the tools, insights, and confidence to execute at a higher level without adding complexity.
