Case Study: University of South Carolina achieves streamlined fund accounting and improved project tracking with Blackbaud's Financial Edge

University of South Carolina - Customer Case Study

The University of South Carolina, supported by five separate foundations, faced a complex fund-accounting challenge managing thousands of sub-funds—more than 5,000 just for the Educational and Development Foundations—and needed a system that could handle nonprofit fund accounting at scale.

They implemented Blackbaud Financial Edge with the Project, Grant and Endowment Management module; using transaction codes cut their project numbers in half and enabled tracking of values they couldn’t capture before. The solution also delivered flexible, easy reporting and strong consulting and support, improving efficiency across the USC Foundations’ finance operations.
