Karen Tyler, the principal of Erie Day School, didn't quite know what to expect when her private K-12 school signed up to be a part of Erie Gives, a completely digital one-day fundraiser in which members of the community are encouraged to donate to any nonprofit in the Erie, Pa., area.
Ms. Tyler's uncertainty turned to joy in a matter of hours when the day arrived last month. Thanks to a well-organized, Web-based fundraising effort that included Facebook posts and emails to parents, alumni, and previous donors, her school raised $52,500 in 12 hours.
