Case Study: WJIE Christian Radio achieves uninterrupted, faster fundraising with FundRaiser Software

WJIE - Customer Case Study

WJIE Christian Radio (88.5 WJIE) faced a fundraising crisis when their previous online donor management system lost connection during a major week‑long Share-a-thon, leaving staff unable to access donor records during 14‑hour daily drive operations. With two intense fundraisers a year, they urgently needed a reliable, in‑house solution.

They switched to FundRaiser Select with the Donor Portal, keeping the database local while allowing donors to give online. After migrating nearly 7,000 donor records, the station ran its next Share-a-thon without connectivity issues, sped up data entry (finishing entry shortly after the drive ended), sent automatic personalized thank‑you emails, and found the system easier to learn and use.
