Case Study: Reception House Waterloo Region achieves fundraising goals with CharityCAN

Reception House Waterloo Region exceeds fundraising targets with CharityCAN in year one

Reception House Waterloo Region, a community-based organization assisting government-assisted refugees, faced the challenge of starting a fundraising program from scratch. Being almost entirely government-funded with only a small base of supporters, they needed a strategic way to identify new funding sources. To meet this challenge, they utilized CharityCAN's prospect research service.

Using CharityCAN, the manager was able to strategically profile the organization and identify potential funders by comparing it to similar groups. This research facilitated warm referrals and informed a targeted outreach calendar, enabling the team to prepare for meetings with confidence. As a result of implementing this solution with CharityCAN, Reception House far exceeded its annual fundraising targets, achieving what were initially considered stretch goals and securing vital support for its mission.
