Case Study: Florida State University Foundation achieves centralized data, improved reporting, and unified constituent management with Blackbaud

The Florida State University Foundation Partners with Blackbaud To Replace Entire Technology System

The Florida State University Foundation, which raises more than $100 million annually to support FSU, needed to centralize data and create an online/offline information platform to support a major capital campaign and strategic growth across multiple affiliated organizations (Seminole Boosters, FSU Alumni Association, and the Ringling Museum). The fragmented systems and constituencies made it difficult to get a unified view of alumni, donors, and supporters.

The Foundation implemented Blackbaud’s integrated suite (including Raiser's Edge Enterprise, Financial Edge, NetCommunity, Direct Marketing, PaperSave and business intelligence services) to consolidate databases into a single system of record. The solution went live ahead of schedule and under budget, delivered improved web-based reporting, strengthened collaboration and efficiency among the organizations, and launched oneFSU as a central online community for boosters, alumni, donors and patrons.
