Case Study: CHOICES achieves 10–15% staff time savings and $13,000 in online donations with Convio's Common Ground

Choices - Customer Case Study

CHOICES (The Center Helping Obesity in Children End Successfully) is a grassroots nonprofit that promotes weight management, nutrition education and community involvement to combat childhood obesity. The organization struggled with constituent data scattered across multiple spreadsheets and custom databases, which made reporting, volunteer onboarding and event management time-consuming and kept staff from focusing on their mission.

By implementing Convio Common Ground®, CHOICES consolidated its data into a single, web-accessible system that volunteers learn quickly and staff use for events, volunteer scheduling and fundraising. The switch saved 10–15% of staff time (equivalent to a $30K part‑time hire), cut post-event reporting from hours to minutes, enabled online donations totaling over $13,000, and delivered what the organization estimates as roughly a 1,000% return on its investment.
