Leveraging a legacy with innovative fundraising campaigns

The Partner

The Partnership, a full-service healthcare marketing agency, collaborated with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the leader in pediatric care in Georgia, spanning 20+ neighborhoods with three hospitals. As a not-for-profit organization, Children’s Healthcare relies on the generous support of donors to continue providing exceptional care and medical advancements to children across the Atlanta metropolitan area, Gwinnett, Cobb, and rural communities throughout Georgia.

Opportunity

The Children’s Foundation has a rich legacy of community-led holiday fundraising with their well-known campaigns like Buy a Boo and Mailbox Brigade. Campaigns rely on steadfast supporters to secure donations in exchange of Boo signs or mailbox wreaths. These emblems then spread awareness in a playful, community building way.

Approach
Leveraging this legacy, The Partnership collaborated with Children’s to introduce a new holiday campaign known as the Heart Swap Campaign. This campaign runs throughout the month of February, raising funds for the Children’s Heart Center during American Heart Month. The Partnership assisted with naming and branding the campaign along with launching a state-of-the-art e-commerce platform focused on user experience from start to end.
 
When approaching a new brand or campaign, we like to introduce The Partnership’s proprietary brand framework initiated through an interactive workshop. This foundational tool is crucial for guiding future activity. This workshop is designed to listen well, provide advice and build a framework. Alongside this, we dive deeply into understanding our audience—whether customers or, in this case, donors—by leveraging community insights from our extensive data and prior engagements with Children’s, as well as from broader industry trends and insights.
