Case Study: American Society of Civil Engineers Foundation achieves 39% increase in online contributions with Blackbaud Online Express (Blackbaud)

American Society of Civil Engineers Foundation - Customer Case Study

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Foundation, founded in 1994 and having raised more than $23 million for ASCE programs, supports initiatives that improve quality of life, advance technical practice, and prepare future civil engineers. To grow online giving, the Foundation needed a donation experience that matched its website, captured donor data, and eliminated reliance on a third‑party payment processor.

By implementing Blackbaud Online Express integrated with The Raiser’s Edge and Blackbaud Merchant Services, ASCE Foundation began processing donations directly on its site, capturing valuable donor information for targeted communications and improved stewardship. The change boosted the online donor experience and helped drive a 39% increase in online contributions from 2012 to 2013.
