Case Study: Room to Read achieves 5.5x fundraising growth and improved donor retention with Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge

Room to Read - Customer Case Study

Room to Read partners with local communities in the developing world to improve literacy and education by building libraries, creating local-language children's books, constructing schools, providing girls’ education, and establishing computer labs. As the organization scaled, donor and gift information was scattered across multiple spreadsheets, making reports slow (up to eight hours), error-prone, and leaving staff unable to answer donor questions efficiently.

Room to Read implemented The Raiser's Edge to centralize fundraising and constituent data, saving staff time and resources. Centralized, reliable data streamlined gift entry, reporting, acknowledgements, and mailings, helping fundraising grow from $4 million to $22 million and improving donor retention through better stewardship.
