Case Study: Open Cities Health Center saves time and raises thousands with GiveSmart

Open Cities Health Center - Customer Case Study

Open Cities Health Center, a nonprofit community health center serving the Twin Cities metropolitan area, needed a better way to manage in-person and online donations. Before working with GiveSmart, the team tracked gifts through PayPal and Microsoft Excel, manually entered donor information, and relied on a web developer to handle online donation updates.

GiveSmart provided a fundraising and donor management platform with text-to-donate, recurring giving, event tools, and credit card swipers for the Center’s Fall Fundraising Gala. With GiveSmart, Open Cities Health Center raised over $4,000 within the first few minutes of the event, closed out donations within an hour afterward, and saved significant time by eliminating an entire day of post-event manual tracking and data entry.
