Case Study: Rhode Island School of Design achieves cost savings and streamlined advancement operations with Almabase

Rhode Island School of Design saves 10s of hours per event with Almabase

Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) faced challenges with high costs and operational complexity from using multiple disconnected platforms like GiveCampus for fundraising and events. This fragmented system created a poor donor experience, manual inefficiencies, and limited return on investment for their advancement team.

By implementing the unified Almabase platform, RISD consolidated its operations and integrated with Raiser's Edge using Almabase's TrueSync. This streamlined large-scale event management and automated gift processing, eliminating errors and saving significant staff time. The results included over $158,800 raised in their first giving campaign and more than 120,000 engagement activities recorded in a single month, achieving greater efficiency and cost savings with Almabase.
