Case Study: Audiopedia engages 20,000 volunteers to empower rural women with NationBuilder

Audiopedia engages a supporter community of 20K to empower rural women

Audiopedia, founded by Marcel and Felicitas Heyne, is a nonprofit that builds digital audio resources to give illiterate rural women access to vital information on health, nutrition and childcare. To recruit, organize and engage the volunteers and NGO partners needed to scale this work, Audiopedia adopted NationBuilder as its supporter management platform.

Using NationBuilder’s toolset—custom filters and dashboards, built-in action pages, and supporter engagement features—Audiopedia launched volunteer dashboards, an NGO portal, Audiopedia Academy and a gamified “Acts for Equality” program to drive actions like petitions, sign-ups and translations. The results speak to scale: a supporter community of roughly 20,000 (including nearly 15,000 translation volunteers), content in about 80–100 languages, active projects across roughly 10 countries, and recognition as a #SmartDevelopmentHack winner—outcomes enabled by NationBuilder.
