Case Study: Foundation Center achieves streamlined global philanthropy data sharing and up to $1M in savings with Oracle NetSuite

Nonprofit Foundation Center Able to Share Global Philanthropy Data More Effectively With NetSuite

Foundation Center, a New York–based nonprofit and leading source of global philanthropy data, was held back by siloed packaged and custom applications that produced inconsistent numbers, high IT and administrative costs, and heavy manual reconciliation and reporting demands on staff.

The organization replaced multiple legacy systems with NetSuite’s unified cloud suite (Financials, CRM, Financial Planning, Site Builder, Order Processing) and used SuiteCommerce to integrate subscriptions for Foundation Directory Online. The change improved coordination and transparency across 480 information partners in 13 countries, reduced reliance on IT, and is projected to save up to $1 million over five years in infrastructure, personnel, and licensing while streamlining donor management, budgeting, and forecasting.
