Politz Day School manages annual dinner donations, attendance, and sponsorships with Wufoo and LGL

The Problem

Politz Day School’s Annual Dinner attracts hundreds of guests each year. Guests are honored, sponsorships are received, tickets sold, and advertising information collected. Politz needed to manage all of this information in one place easily and efficiently, as well as be able to track credit to school families for tickets sold to the event.

The Solution

Politz created a comprehensive RSVP form in Wufoo to collect and accept ticket, advertising, and sponsorship payments. By syncing that form to LGL, Politz was easily able to create and manage custom event categories to track seating arrangements and the names of guests, and to assign ticket sales credit to school family sellers.

Step by Step

1. The Wufoo RSVP form can be placed on your website, shared in a link in an email, and even added as a QR code to a postcard mailing.
2. LGL tracks RSVPs to the event, conveniently showing counts for each attribute you care to track.

Benefit

Suzy Levenbrown, Director of Admissions and Marketing, was very happy with the integration. “The benefit of having everything integrated with Wufoo and LGL was a huge time saver. The ability to save the data from the integration queue as opposed to having to manually enter the data was one time saver. Having email confirmation of the payment automatically generated was another. One of the greatest benefits was the ability of team members to see what was going on in real time. The event honorees loved being able to go in and see who had given so they knew who they needed to follow up with.”

It’s easy to build Wufoo forms; the possibilities are endless. To see a list of forms that apply well to schools and nonprofits, including a volunteer form, see Wufoo community templates. You should also take a look at our how-to article on connecting your Wufoo account to your LGL account.
