Case Study: Camp Kesem cuts reporting time from hours to 10 minutes with Cloud for Good and Salesforce

Camp Kesem cuts reporting time from 2-4 hours to 10 minutes with Cloud for Good

Camp Kesem, a national nonprofit supporting children affected by a parent's cancer, faced significant challenges with its previous donor management system, Blackbaud’s Kintera Sphere. The system was overly complicated and inflexible for its primarily student-run chapters, leading to inefficient fundraising tracking, disjointed data in Excel spreadsheets, and hours spent on manual reporting. They partnered with Cloud for Good to find a more streamlined solution.

Cloud for Good implemented Salesforce with the Nonprofit Starter Pack and a custom fundraising package to manage donors and events, integrating it with QuickBooks and peer-to-peer fundraising tools. This created a centralized, cloud-based system for all chapters. The results were transformative: reporting time dropped from 2-4 hours to just 10 minutes, the organization grew from 41 to 62 chapters, and financial data became synchronized in real-time, saving significant staff effort.
