Case Study: Unicorn Children's Foundation achieves streamlined operations and 75% faster board donation reconciliation with Giveffect

Unicorn Children’s Foundation Reducing Time Spent on Data Entry & Donation Reconciliation by 75%

Unicorn Children’s Foundation, a small nonprofit founded in 1994 that supports kids and young adults with special needs, struggled with fragmented systems—using five separate tools (including DonorPerfect and DonorDrive), spreadsheets, and manual processes that made it hard to see constituent data, reconcile funds, and engage board members and volunteers. To fix this, the Foundation engaged Giveffect for an integrated nonprofit platform and website solution.

Giveffect implemented its Contact & Relationship Management System and Web‑in‑a‑Box site integration, consolidating donor, volunteer, campaign, grant and board data into a single, fully integrated system with built‑in reporting and email automation. The result: staff time reconciling board donations dropped by at least 75%, campaigns saw measurable lifts (e.g., a campaign with 78 supporters raised $20,722), email engagement improved year‑over‑year, and the Foundation gained actionable reporting and targeted outreach — all enabled by Giveffect.
