Case Study: Young Life Canada saves time and quadruples online donations and registrations with Blackbaud NetCommunity

Young Life Canada Saves Time and Quadruples Online Support with Blackbaud® NetCommunity

Young Life Canada is a youth ministry that builds relationships with teens through activities and outreach, welcoming all regardless of background. The organization needed a website that would integrate with its donor database, but its open-source CMS would have required time-consuming custom development and extra staff to maintain that connection.

Young Life migrated its database to The Raiser's Edge and its website to Blackbaud NetCommunity, creating seamless integration that eliminated manual data entry and added robust email reporting. The switch cut costs by removing a third-party events tool, enabled plans to securely share files across chapters, and helped quadruple online donations and event registrations—with roughly 25% of fundraising now coming from team fundraising.
