Case Study: Essentia Health Foundation streamlines event operations and boosts donor tracking with Almabase

Essentia Health Foundation raises $200,000 and streamlines events with Almabase

Essentia Health Foundation, which supports a large rural healthcare system, faced significant challenges managing its numerous fundraising events. Their Events Manager spent excessive hours manually tracking sponsors via email and spreadsheets, while a reliance on Eventbrite and their marketing team created a disconnected donor pipeline and slowed operations. They partnered with Almabase to find a solution.

Almabase implemented its event and sponsorship management platform to systemize operations. The solution provided a self-serve portal for sponsors, integrated event pages controlled by the foundation, and direct integration with Raiser’s Edge NXT. For Essentia, this resulted in $200,000 raised at a single gala, the elimination of weeks of administrative follow-up, and all event attendees now being captured as named donor constituents for the first time.
