Case Study: YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties achieves fundraising growth and streamlined donor management with Blackbaud

YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties - Customer Case Study

YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties is a cause-driven nonprofit focused on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Like all YMCAs, it must fundraise a minimum portion of its budget and faced the challenge of coordinating multi-branch fundraising to meet a $2.4M annual campaign goal.

By implementing Blackbaud solutions—TeamRaiser, Raiser's Edge NXT, Blackbaud Online Express and Blackbaud Merchant Services—the Y centralized campaign management, gave branches shared access to clean, cloud-based data, launched donation pages quickly, and streamlined reconciliation. The organization exceeded its $2.4M goal, increased donor engagement and branch participation, simplified reporting, and expanded funding for financial assistance, before/after-school programs and Teen Late Nite outreach.
