Case Study: Clinton Community College increases contributions 657% and secures a $2M gift with Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge

Clinton Community College - Customer Case Study

Clinton Community College Foundation (CCCF) is a nonprofit established in 1971 to raise funds and provide scholarships for Clinton Community College students. After switching from Blackbaud’s The Raiser's Edge to another CRM (CAMS), staff faced major problems importing alumni records, running queries, pulling reports, and maintaining accurate data, prompting CCCF to seek a more reliable solution.

CCCF returned to The Raiser's Edge and used AddressFinder and EmailFinder to grow alumni records from about 300 to more than 7,000 (roughly 70% of alumni), and used the Consecutive Giving report to identify a previously unknown donor who gave an additional $2 million. Contributions rose 657% to nearly $840,000 (up from $111,000 the prior year), positioning the foundation to pursue its $7.5 million Clearly Clinton campaign.
