RPA recently launched an effort to raise funds for United Way that featured an unusual tactic: an imaginary child.
The agency created an imaginary girl named Ellie, whose growth and development depended on donations from RPA employees. She reached a new childhood milestone every day in which employees met the fundraising goal. When that goal wasn’t reached, Ellie did not age and remained stuck at that point of development until the agency reached the necessary donation amount. At the conclusion of the initiative, RPA raised $72,000 in donations for the charity (and Ellie grew up to graduate from high school). Check out the case study above for more on the initiative and visit United Way‘s website to learn more about the organization.
