Case study
Modernized fundraising and operations
Friendly Paws Society, focused on dog-related community events and animal welfare, had no formal POS system.
Donations were accepted manually or sporadically, and merchandise sales were inconsistent due to a lack of proper infrastructure. This hindered their ability to professionalize and scale their fundraising efforts.
Our approach
After a cold call and brief Instagram exchange, Friendly Paws Society onboarded to Mahalo in a single setup session.
The intuitive and simple interface was crucial for this small organization without dedicated technical staff, empowering them to quickly begin collecting donations and experimenting with merchandise sales.
Impact
Fundraising
Raised $507 from 18 transactions in just two events, with an average donation of $50, demonstrating a strong performance for a first-time POS deployment.

Professionalization
Mahalo's effectiveness in simplifying collections and presenting a modern donor experience helped position Friendly Paws as a more professional and scalable organization.
