Case Study: Project Quest reduces poverty and raises more funding with Bonterra Apricot

Project Quest raises funding and boosts graduate salaries by 208% with Bonterra

Project Quest, a San Antonio-based nonprofit that connects local residents to career training, faced the challenge of operating efficiently and demonstrating its impact to secure crucial funding. Their data was stored in filing cabinets and on floppy disks, making it an arduous manual process to report to grantmakers. To overcome this, they implemented Bonterra's Apricot software.

By using Bonterra's solution, Project Quest was able to centralize its case data and generate powerful reports. This allowed them to quickly demonstrate their impact to funders in real time, which was instrumental in securing a historic $1.5 million donation. The data-driven approach also helped them achieve an 80% participant graduation rate and a 208% increase in average graduate salaries, from $14,711 to $45,257.
