Case Study: WVU Extension Service achieves easy access to donor and financial information with Blackbaud

The West Virginia University Foundation Uses Blackbaud Solutions to Provide Staff Easy-to-Access Information

The West Virginia University Foundation is a private nonprofit that manages more than $670 million in assets and an endowment nearing $350 million to support scholarships, faculty development, research, and other university needs. As state funding declined, the Foundation needed fundraising and finance teams to access timely prospect, donor, and fund information to build stronger relationships, increase private giving, and ensure accurate stewardship of 3,500 endowment funds.

The Foundation implemented a suite of Blackbaud solutions — The Raiser's Edge, The Financial Edge, The Information Edge — plus Target Analytics’ modeling and wealth identification services. The integrated tools gave staff easy, at‑a‑glance access to donor and financial data, improved prospect identification and fundraising effectiveness, and streamlined management and reporting for the endowment.
