Case Study: Florida United Methodist Foundation achieves greater ministry impact and cost savings with Blackbaud

Florida United Methodist Foundation seeks to drive maximum impact in challenging times

Florida United Methodist Foundation supports churches and individuals with loans, grants, gift annuities and scholarships, but faces shrinking membership and tighter resources that make maximizing ministry impact more difficult. Treasurer Margaret Cox sought a way to stay agile and provide clear, timely financial information to leadership so the foundation could make strategic decisions despite those challenges.

The foundation partnered with Blackbaud’s cloud solutions—integrated accounting, fundraising/CRM, analytics and engagement tools—to automate day‑to‑day transactions, streamline events and fundraising, and deliver up‑to‑the‑minute reports to the board. The result: faster, easier reporting, greater transparency, and saved time and money, enabling more data‑driven decisions and a stronger ability to do the most good with limited resources.
