Case Study: Lutheran Mideast Development achieves reliable, scalable fundraising and better pledge and donor tracking with FundRaiser Software

Lutheran Mideast Development - Customer Case Study

Lutheran Mideast Development, a small nonprofit serving Kurdish women and children affected by war in Turkey, faced a sudden loss of its donor database when a custom Access program became unusable after a crash and had no support. With an urgent need for a low-cost, easy-to-use system, the organization needed a quick, reliable replacement that staff could learn and deploy immediately.

They downloaded FundRaiser Basic to restore operations, imported their old files, and later upgraded to FundRaiser Select to track pledges and access expanded, customizable reporting. The transition was smooth, aided by a no-interest payment plan; the new system improved pledge management, enabled targeted outreach to major donors, and automated reminders and reports, strengthening their fundraising and cash-flow processes.
