Case Study: Special Olympics Maryland streamlines budgeting and forecasting with Martus Solutions

Special Olympics Maryland streamlines budgeting and grows program spending to $7.18M with Martus Solutions

Special Olympics Maryland, a nonprofit providing sports for individuals with intellectual disabilities, faced a labor-intensive and error-prone budgeting process that relied entirely on manual Excel spreadsheets. This created coordination challenges across departments and limited the finance team's efficiency. To modernize their financial management, they partnered with vendor Martus Solutions for an integrated budgeting platform.

Martus Solutions implemented a streamlined budgeting solution that integrated directly with the organization's general ledger, eliminating manual data entry. The platform provided user-friendly, filterable worksheets for departmental budgeting and introduced improved forecasting capabilities. As a result, Special Olympics Maryland significantly reduced administrative time, improved forecasting accuracy for better decision-making, and freed staff to focus on its mission, which included expanding programs and increasing program-service spending from $6.99 million to $7.18 million in a year.
