Gallatin Ice Foundation Doubles Revenue & Powers $1M+ Fundraising With DIGIDECK
The Opportunity: Scaling for Growth
The Gallatin Ice Foundation serves as a cornerstone of community hockey and skating in Bozeman, Montana. With two indoor world-class ice facilities, demand for ice time and programming continues to soar.
That growth brings new challenges. Manual presentations and static PDFs cannot keep pace with the volume and complexity of outreach needed to support the next phase of expansion. Each proposal historically required hours of edits, leading to inconsistent messaging and ultimately lost opportunities.
The Gallatin Ice Foundation was poised for its next phase of growth. With demand surging and community impact expanding, the team recognized the opportunity to elevate its presence and positioning. To attract larger sponsors and donors, they needed to match their momentum with a polished, professional presentation—one that reflected the scale and sophistication of their vision.
With a small staff and lean resources, alignment is essential. “We were at a point of busting at the seams,” shares Jeffrey Moore, Director of Philanthropy. “We had to make a leap to scalability.”
“You guys have been essential in doubling our revenue...
Now, I actually do have a sales team… and it is built
around the implementation of this new, revitalized sales strategy in DIGIDECK.”
—Jeffrey Moore, Director of Philanthropy
The Solution: DIGIDECK as the Engine of Modernization
The Gallatin Ice Foundation turned to DIGIDECK, a multi-use platform that transformed how the team sells, fundraises, and communicates its story. From donor outreach to sponsorship sales, DIGIDECK became the central tool for delivering a consistent, compelling message across every audience.
With DIGIDECK, every presentation delivers a unified, branded experience. Whether the team is pitching a smaller ad placement or a major naming rights opportunity, they present polished, consistent, and up-to-date information tailored to the size and scope of each conversation.
DIGIDECK also empowers the organization to tell a more compelling story. Instead of sending plain price sheets, presentations now include interactive elements, embedded videos, and tailored messaging for each recipient. Every proposal is personal and emotionally resonant, turning transactional asks into narratives about community impact and opportunity.
“We’re not just sending them a price list. We’re sending them a full-on story,” says Jackson Redder, a DIGIDECK power user at the Gallatin Ice Foundation.
The team creates and customizes presentations at scale—“30 DIGIDECKs in the last week,” according to Moore, enabling faster follow-up and more personalized engagement without sacrificing quality.
Real-time analytics reveal which slides resonate most with potential partners, allowing the team to prioritize follow-ups and identify upsell opportunities. DIGIDECK integrates seamlessly into daily operations, working alongside the foundation’s CRM (DonorView) and invoicing system (QuickBooks), to guarantee every interaction is logged, tracked, and actionable.
Perhaps most importantly, DIGIDECK fuels internal transformation. What was once a solo-driven fundraising effort has evolved into a true team operation, built around a shared sales strategy and unified goal and centered around DIGIDECK.
