Case Study: Community Foundations of Hudson Valley achieves 25% increase in donations and improved engagement with Kentico

Community Foundations of Hudson Valley - Customer Case Study

Community Foundations of Hudson Valley (CFHV) is a regional community foundation serving Dutchess, Ulster and Putnam counties since 1969, supporting arts, education, conservation, health and human services. CFHV needed a modern, mobile-friendly website that streamlined content for visitors, made online event registration, donations and scholarship searches easy, provided smart forms and a secure board area, and — critically — retained a familiar look for long-term donors.

k2dsquared implemented the Kentico CMS to centralize funds, grants and scholarship data and to integrate payment processors, smart online forms, event signup, and social media. Since the December 2013 launch the site’s intuitive architecture improved access with minimal clicks and drove measurable gains: a 25% increase in donations in the first three months, 30% more time on site, a 35% improvement in page load times, fewer support calls and higher uptime, helping CFHV sustain community support.
