The Company
Flight Club 502 is a Louisville-based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth through aviation-focused education and hands-on experiences. Founded in 2015, the organization uses aviation as a platform to teach STEM concepts, leadership, decision-making, and real-world life skills.
As a youth-driven and volunteer-supported organization, Flight Club 502 relies heavily on fundraising and community support to expand access to its programs and continue investing in the next generation of leaders. Looking to increase presale fundraising performance and expand their reach, Flight Club 502 partnered with United Direct Solutions to implement a more strategic, data-driven approach using the SYNC platform.
The Challenge
Flight Club 502 needed a more effective way to:
- Increase presale fundraising results
- Reach new, high-intent supporters
- Improve engagement ahead of their campaign
Traditional outreach methods were limiting their ability to fully capture and convert interested audiences.
The Solution
Using the SYNC platform, UDS implemented a data-driven approach that combined website visitor tracking with automated direct mail outreach.
This included:
- Leveraging LeadMatch technology to identify website visitors
- Uncovering over 42,000 potential leads through digital activity on their website
- Delivering targeted, personalized mailers to high-intent audiences
- Supporting the campaign with strategic guidance and execution
This approach allowed Flight Club 502 to engage prospects who may not have otherwise been reached.
The Results
The campaign delivered measurable improvements:
- 30% increase in presale fundraising compared to the previous year
- 42,000+ identified leads through website visitor tracking
- Increased reach and engagement with high-intent audiences
The integrated approach helped drive stronger performance and improved overall campaign results.
