Case Study: Congenital Hyperinsulinism International expands social giving and saves staff time with Blackbaud's JustGiving

CHI steps up social giving presence with turnkey peer-to-peer fundraising solution

Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) is a small, parent-founded nonprofit that raises awareness, supports families, and funds research for a rare, life‑threatening pediatric condition. With a staff of just three and a half, CHI struggled to raise visibility and donations, manage a global patient registry, organize events, and maintain donor records while wearing many hats and racing against the clock.

CHI adopted JustGiving from Blackbaud, integrated with Blackbaud eTapestry and Merchant Services, as a turnkey peer‑to‑peer fundraising solution that’s easy to brand and mobile‑friendly. The seamless integration automatically synced donor data, streamlined accounting and reporting, and saved staff time—helping a 12‑rider “Raring to Go for CHI” team raise more than $13,000 in its first year and giving CHI a smooth transition to a virtual event during COVID‑19.
