Case Study: Pro-Choice North Carolina achieves 92% time savings with Instrumentl

Pro-Choice North Carolina saves 92% of grant prospecting time with Instrumentl

Pro-Choice North Carolina, a statewide reproductive rights organization, faced significant challenges in grant prospecting. Their Development Director, Toni Curry, spent over 10 hours weekly manually researching funders using a free public library version of Foundation Directory Online. This process was inefficient and time-consuming, as the database commingled pro-choice and anti-choice funders, requiring extensive manual vetting. They needed a better way to identify suitable grant opportunities.

By implementing Instrumentl, the organization revolutionized its process. Instrumentl's platform automated prospecting, reducing the time spent from 10-12 hours to just 30-45 minutes—a 92% time savings. This allowed the small team to focus on strategy and relationship building. Furthermore, Instrumentl helped them discover new funders, leading to $195,000 raised in grants, including support from foundations they had never previously heard of.
