Case Study: Evangelical Free Church of Canada achieves faster tax receipts and accurate fund accounting with Blackbaud (Financial Edge & Raiser's Edge)

Evangelical Free Church of Canada - Customer Case Study

The Evangelical Free Church of Canada (EFCC), which supports the growth of healthy churches nationally and internationally, was outgrowing its financial system: it lacked detail and audit trails, was running out of account numbers, produced tax receipts slowly, and couldn’t keep pace with increasing workload. These limitations threatened accurate fund tracking and efficient operations for a mission-driven organization with many designated donations.

EFCC implemented Blackbaud’s Financial Edge for nonprofit fund accounting, Raiser’s Edge for donor and event management, and Blackbaud Application Hosting for remote access. The integrated solution delivered detailed reporting and a full audit trail, allowed donations to be tracked as individual funds, enabled consolidated reporting across programs, cut tax receipt processing from two weeks to half a day (a 45% increase in receipts handled), and reduced manual errors, improving efficiency across the organization.
