Case Study: Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation achieves faster insights and streamlined grantmaking with Fluxx

Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation Finds Insights Through Data

The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, which supports education, economic development, and justice in Arkansas, had been relying on a 1990s server-based grants system that was manual, hard to search, and didn’t support staff in the field. Andrea Dobson, the foundation’s Chief Financial and Operating Officer, sought a modern, more efficient solution after learning about Fluxx from peers.

WRF implemented Fluxx, a grants-management platform built by philanthropy practitioners, and configured workflows to match the foundation’s processes. The result: faster collaboration and search (reducing document lookup from 20–30 minutes to seconds), organization-wide adoption in six months, and improved data visibility that supports better decisions and service to grantees.
