Case Study: Omaha Community Foundation Saves Money and Increases Efficiency with Deluxe Payment Exchange

Nonprofit saves money and increases efficiency with eChecks

Omaha Community Foundation, a nonprofit giving collective established in 1982, needed a more efficient way to manage about 11,000 grant payments a year. With a small staff and limited time, the foundation found that using ACH would be too labor-intensive, and it also faced resistance from nonprofits that did not want to share bank information. Deluxe provided Deluxe Payment Exchange to address these payment challenges.

Deluxe implemented eChecks through Deluxe Payment Exchange, allowing Omaha Community Foundation to send batch payment runs in just minutes instead of spending time on manual processing and mailing. The foundation expected to move 100% of its payments to the platform and estimated annual savings of about 75% on expenses, while also reducing staff workload and freeing more resources for community impact.
