Case Study: Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life streamlines grant management with Instrumentl

Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life saves 10+ hours a week with Instrumentl

The Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life (ISJL), a nonprofit with a large geographic footprint, faced significant challenges in grant management. As the sole grant writer, Beth Kander-Dauphin struggled with a tedious, time-consuming process reliant on spreadsheets and manual Google searches to find opportunities, track applications, and manage data. This DIY system made it difficult to identify qualified funders and efficiently steward relationships.

By implementing Instrumentl, the institute centralized its entire grant workflow into a single platform. Instrumentl provided features for prospecting, tracking, and collaboration, saving the team an estimated 10 hours per week on research and data entry. The solution delivered measurable impact, identifying four new first-time funders out of two dozen grants secured within a six-month period, significantly expanding their funding base.
