Case Study: Rhode Island School of Design achieves greater efficiency and cost savings with Almabase

RISD raises $158K+ and streamlines events with Almabase

The Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) faced challenges with a fragmented and costly advancement operation. They used multiple disconnected tools, including GiveCampus, which created data silos, a frustrating donor experience, and inefficient manual processes for events and gift management. Seeking to consolidate these systems, RISD turned to the vendor Almabase for its all-in-one engagement platform.

By implementing Almabase's unified platform with TrueSync for Raiser's Edge, RISD consolidated its operations, automated workflows, and gained robust control over data syncing. This solution provided game-changing efficiency, saving the team tens of hours per event and eliminating manual errors. The results for RISD were significant, including over $158,800 raised in their first giving campaign and the recording of over 120,659 engagement activities in a single month.
