Case Study: Laidlaw Foundation strengthens global scholar engagement with Zapnito

Laidlaw Foundation - Customer Case Study

The Laidlaw Foundation, which runs leadership and research programs for scholars, leveraged the Zapnito platform to create the Laidlaw Scholars Network. Their primary challenge was building an online space to effectively connect, engage, and sustain a global community of scholars, alumni, and faculty, moving beyond a simple information portal to foster genuine collaboration and long-term involvement.

Using Zapnito, they implemented a dedicated community platform that enabled scholars to share research, connect with peers, and access new features like Events. A major outcome was providing a forum for scholars to showcase their work, leading to tangible opportunities like a scholar securing work experience after their research was seen on the network. The Zapnito solution also supported a data-driven approach to improving user engagement through better onboarding and a deeper understanding of member needs.
