Case Study: SOS-Kinderdorf boosts donations, conversions, and website visits with CoreMedia Headless CMS

Using the CoreMedia CMS increases donation income for a good cause

SOS-Kinderdorf e.V., a German nonprofit organization providing support for disadvantaged children and young people, faced the challenge of modernizing its outdated website technology. The existing platform struggled to meet user expectations for donor engagement and communication, prompting a need for a solution that would update technical standards and reduce development costs. This led them to partner with vendor CoreMedia.

The solution involved a strategic migration to a headless CMS from CoreMedia, which separated the backend and frontend for greater agility. The implementation used CoreMedia alongside React, MUI, and Next.js for a modernized, accessible UI and improved server performance. The results were significant, with SOS-Kinderdorf reporting a 25 percent increase in online donations, a 35 percent rise in conversion rate, and a 51 percent growth in website visits.
