Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma: Thank-a-Thon

Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma: Thank-a-Thon

This Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma stewardship campaign earned Bronze recognition at the 2026 DMFA Awards for its focus on thanking donors and strengthening long-term relationships. The campaign showed how meaningful appreciation can turn one-time supporters into lasting partners.

One donor was so moved by the outreach that they sent a $500 gift, even though no ask was made. The Thank-a-Thon also built momentum for the organization’s subsequent GivingTuesday and year-end appeals.

Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank: Chip In, Chip Away

Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank: Chip In, Chip Away

Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank participated in Chip In, Chip Away: a coordinated, national day of giving created by TrueSense and launched on July 10, 2025.

The campaign, which earned a Bronze DMFA Award in 2026 in the Digital Media category, introduced a shared fundraising model for food banks and similar organizations during periods of peak demand. Instead of functioning as a single organization’s acquisition effort, it offered a common framework that many nonprofits could use to invite participation and support.

Freestore Foodbank: Rubber Duck Regatta

Freestore Foodbank: Rubber Duck Regatta

At the DMAW MAXI Awards in 2025, TrueSense earned the Omni Wow Award for Freestore Foodbank’s multichannel Rubber Duck Regatta campaign. The annual regatta’s 30th-anniversary celebration presented a great opportunity to boost excitement and participation, but declining engagement and conversion metrics year over year meant that a fresh approach was needed. TrueSense implemented an omnichannel digital strategy, focusing on personalized messaging, diverse digital touchpoints, and data-driven optimization to drive engagement and conversions.
