Case Study: Central Texas Food Bank achieves $40,000 in urgent relief funds in one month with Blackbaud's peer-to-peer solution

Central Texas Food Bank Uses Leading-edge Technology to Fight Hunger

Central Texas Food Bank, which serves a region where nearly 440,000 people are at risk of hunger, faced sudden, urgent demand after Hurricane Harvey and needed a fast, scalable way to mobilize supporters and raise emergency funds.

By partnering with Blackbaud to launch a peer-to-peer fundraising solution immediately, the Food Bank raised $40,000 in the first month, more than doubled its impact while cutting staff time by at least half, and gained seamless CRM integration (Raiser’s Edge NXT) plus ongoing support and volunteer involvement from Blackbaud.
