Exceptional Donor Stewardship with Powerful Scholarship Stories

Each year through its partnership with the Sailfish Point Foundation, The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie facilitates a process that provides multi-year scholarships to eligible high school students. The Community Foundation is home to numerous charitable giving and scholarship funds. Being able to demonstrate the impact and value of their client’s giving is essential, so they used MemoryFox to amplify their process.

How'd They Do It

See how The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie used MemoryFox Story Builder Tools to easily turn their most compelling responses into a “Community Story”, share that story, and receive financing for each specific fellowship.

1. Requested Scholarship Stories

In previous years, the team at The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie collected written testimonials by email from the Sailfish Point Foundation’s scholarship recipients, the process was time consuming and the responses were sporadic. This year, they built a dedicated content collection campaign using MemoryFox and easily shared it with 86 Sailfish Point Foundation Scholarship recipients.

2. Collected 40+ Responses

Using MemoryFox, the team at The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie was able to easily collect over 40 video responses from the Sailfish Point Foundation Scholarship recipients. Because of the way content is organized in MemoryFox, they could easily filter these responses from all of the other collection campaigns they were already running.

3. Curated Their Responses

Once the collection campaign ended, The Community Foundation Martin-St. Lucie was able to easily turn their most compelling responses into a “Community Story” using MemoryFox Story Builder tools. They were then able to share that story with their partner, the Sailfish Point Foundation, and other interested stakeholders highlighting the impact of giving in such a powerful way.

"This was our third year administering the Sailfish Point Foundation’s Scholarship process. Using MemoryFox helped us to more efficiently capture more stories from more student scholars. This tool has taken us to a new level."
