Case Study: Boys & Girls Clubs of America achieves nearly doubled virtual engagement and data-driven insights with Microsoft Power BI

Boys & Girls Clubs of America serves youth most in need via a user-friendly, cloud-based platform

Boys & Girls Clubs of America faced a critical challenge when its aging MyFuture platform grew slow, crashed frequently, and couldn’t scale as Clubs moved to virtual programming during COVID-19. To modernize the hub that connects staff and 4.6 million youth annually, the organization rebuilt MyFuture on Microsoft Azure and adopted analytics with Microsoft Power BI to improve performance, security, and data-driven decision making.

Using an Azure-based rebuild and Power BI analytics (deployed with partner Tremend), Microsoft Power BI helped deliver a platform that is nearly 30× faster in server response and has experienced only one outage since launch. The upgrade enabled more than 3,200 Clubs to offer virtual programs, nearly doubled MyFuture usage year over year, produced almost twice the typical number of stars and badges earned by members, and gave headquarters actionable visuals for donor reports and program prioritization.
