Case Study: Eden Foundation achieves $100K+ Head for the Hills fundraising during COVID with Blackbaud TeamRaiser and Raiser’s Edge NXT

Eden Foundation - Customer Case Study

Eden Foundation, which supports faith-based mental health programs in southern Manitoba, relied heavily on peer-to-peer fundraising—notably its Head for the Hills bike ride—but faced technology roadblocks with its former platform that threatened supporter engagement and fundraising, especially as COVID-19 forced event changes and increased demand for services.

Eden switched to Blackbaud TeamRaiser and Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT (with Online Express and Merchant Services) and leveraged strong Blackbaud support to deliver a “click-and-go” experience for fundraisers—making it easy to create pages, send appeals, track results, and run leaderboards. The move helped Head for the Hills exceed 200 participants and raise over $100,000 in 2020, while the foundation’s overall financial performance during the first year of COVID rivaled or exceeded previous years.
