Election outcomes are public results. Program metrics are based on NWF campaign data and should be read within the engagement scope described below.

The constraint that defined the work.

NWF joined for the final two months of a congressional primary. The campaign had a compelling organizing story and real momentum, but needed to reach donors outside Michigan and build a dependable closing operation on an unusually compressed timeline.

NWF scope + system

What NWF Strategies worked on for Will Lawrence.

We paired end-to-end email and SMS fundraising with an event calendar that gave new supporters more reasons—and more ways—to engage.

01

Run one complete digital program

A disciplined email and SMS cadence kept the campaign's story in front of donors and allowed fast response to the moments that mattered.

02

Expand nationally

Audience growth introduced Lawrence to grassroots donors across the country and converted new attention into sustained support.

03

Let events reinforce digital

A productive fundraising calendar deepened relationships and created fresh moments around which the digital program could organize.

03

Execution + result

2 months

Monthly fundraising rose from approximately $115,000 before the engagement to $178,000 in NWF's first month and $330,000 in the next—a 2.9× increase in just two months, with a broader national grassroots audience supporting the close.

04

Capability demonstrated

A fundraising system that compounds relationships and learning.

The reusable capability is the operating pattern: connect audience and donor research, candidate time, events, digital channels, and reporting so each interaction improves the next ask and the next decision.
