Case Study: Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired — Goodwill achieves increased fundraising and accessibility with Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge

The Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired Goodwill Uses The Raiser’s Edge to Maximize Fundraising Efficiency and Further Its Mission

The Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired — Goodwill (ABVI–Goodwill) is a New York nonprofit that prepares and empowers people who are blind or visually impaired to be self-sufficient. Spanning nine counties, the organization outgrew its legacy database (about 70,000 records) and needed a more powerful, dynamic fundraising system that was also compatible with JAWS screen‑reading software.

ABVI–Goodwill implemented The Raiser's Edge with Target Analytics and added RE:Event to better manage donors, prospects and fundraising events. The new tools increased fundraising revenue—supporting services like a low vision center, adaptive technology and rehabilitation—and JAWS compatibility enabled the organization to employ people who are blind or visually impaired and develop entrepreneurial initiatives to further its mission.
