Case Study: Ignatian Lay Volunteer Corp achieves donor-data preservation and faster reporting with FundRaiser Software

Ignatian Lay Volunteer Corp - Customer Case Study

The Ignatian Volunteer Corps (IVC), a small-staff nonprofit that places volunteers age 50+ in service to people in need, faced a donor-data crisis when its custom donor database became un-upgradeable. With about 4,000 records and extensive gift history at risk, past manual migrations had failed and IVC needed a reliable way to preserve and move its data without losing critical history.

IVC chose FundRaiser Select for its cost, capabilities, and customer-focused support, then worked closely with FundRaiser’s conversion team—mapping fields, taking training, and jointly cleansing data so historical gifts were retained (moved to notes or inactive codes where appropriate). After a year on the new system, IVC reports dramatic improvements: instant reporting and segmentation, faster mailings, easy regional reporting, time savings for a one-person development office, and greater organizational awareness and efficiency.
