Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches Uses Blackbaud Solutions to Achieve an Integrated Fundraising and Financial System
Since 1905, the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches has provided interdenominational support to families living in poverty by rallying volunteers to help with senior services, administering after-school tutoring programs, providing weekly support groups, and conducting counseling visits to correctional facilities.
The Challenge:
With donations from individuals, foundations, corporations, congregations, the United Way, and several government agencies, Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches has more than 25,000 individual records. But because many of the nine human service programs tracked contacts and gifts differently, the organization needed an easier method for tracking prospects, generating summary reports regarding appeals, and retrieving constituent information.
The Solution:
The organization chose The Raiser’s Edge® and The Financial Edge™ to achieve an integrated fundraising and financial system.
The Results:
The organization has been able to eliminate half of an accounting position because of the system’s efficiencies. The organization also saves valuable time during gift entry, gift acknowledgements, and data entry.
