About YPLA

KBT (Kehilat Bnei Torah) is a new Kehila and shul powerhouse on Pico Robertson started by Rabbi Shlomo Yisraeli in 2022.

B"H The shul has seen tremendous growth and impact for the Sephardic and Pico Community in the relatively short 6 months it was on Pico.

About the Campaign

KBT embarked on its first fundraising campaign, aimed at securing its spot within the dynamic Pico Community while also fostering financial resources for future growth.

Initially targeting a $450,000 goal, the campaign experienced an early surge in momentum thanks to early backers and donor engagement. The campaign's videos resonated strongly, captivating a proactive audience even prior to the campaign's official launch. This groundswell of interest prompted an upward adjustment of the campaign goal to $500,000, accompanied by an ambitious "Dream Goal" of $613,000.

The outcome exceeded all expectations. The campaign not only met and surpassed its revised goal but also achieved the aspirational Dream Goal, amassing an impressive total of $628,416. This remarkable accomplishment underscores the power of strategic engagement, community support, and the effectiveness of the campaign videos and graphics - propelling KBT into a promising new phase of growth and impact.

Reflection

Navigating KBT's first fundraiser was an enlightening experience. Our dual objective was clear: anchoring KBT within the dynamic Pico Community and nurturing avenues for future expansion.

Commencing at $450,000, rapid momentum surged from early supporters and engaged donors. Notably, impactful campaign videos generated anticipation even pre-launch. This groundswell led to a revised $500,000 goal, accompanied by an audacious "Dream Goal" of $613,000.

The result? Beyond expectations. Surpassing both targets, we reached an impressive $628,416. This victory underscores strategic engagement, community support, and visual and storytelling prowess of my campaign videos and graphics.
