1. Riley Children’s Foundation

Mission: To inspire people to invest in pediatric research, care, and programs that support the physical and mental health of kids.

Riley Children’s Foundation supports children by funding pediatric research, education, and primary care. The organization functions as one of the top 10 U.S. sites for pediatric health research, with 50 health centers across Indiana. 

A medical center that provides equitable access to exceptional healthcare delivery, Riley Children’s Foundation also invests significantly in training the next generation of: 

• Pediatric clinicians 
• Nurse practitioners 
• Physicians 
• Scientists 
• Other healthcare providers 

Millions of dollars in biomedical research investments flow through Riley Children’s Foundation annually to ensure all children have the greatest chance of reaching optimal health and quality of life. That requires a focused and passionate fundraising approach that connects to donors to sustain their loyalty and leave them feeling fulfilled.  

Sharing a Giving Season to Remember for Loyal Donors

Riley Children’s Foundation took advantage of the opportunity to host a memorable fundraising campaign to kick off the year-end giving season.

On Classy’s fundraising platform, organizations see conversion rates double on average between Giving Tuesday and New Year’s Eve, and 79% of U.S. donors who give on Giving Tuesday return to give again in the new year.

Riley Children’s Foundation leveraged the Classy for Salesforce integration to create a cohesive,  multichannel approach to year-end fundraising and donor communications. With the help of Cloud for Good, their team was able to optimize reporting through Salesforce and manage the mass amounts of seasonal data better. 

Salesforce provided a unified view of data coming through the team’s Classy campaign, with dynamic reports that clarified key audiences to engage at particular milestones in the donor journey. Classy added to that information with personalized gift suggestions based on each donor’s giving history and acquisition source.

Impressive Results for Year-End Fundraising

Using Classy for Salesforce and Cloud for Good’s large-scale solutions, Riley Children’s Foundation saw: 

• 22% more donations acquired by year-end
• 19% increase in fundraising dollars

2. The CDC Foundation

Mission: To help save and improve lives by unleashing the power of collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), philanthropies, corporations, organizations, and individuals to protect the health, safety, and security of America and the world.

The CDC Foundation extends the lifesaving work of the CDC and the public health system as an independent nonprofit organization. 

It offers world-class quality of care, agility, and scientific expertise to drive lasting impact. The health information delivered by the CDC Foundation supports healthcare professionals in improving the quality of service the healthcare organization offers nationwide. The team’s fundraising is critical to the sustainability of that mission and the accuracy and integrity of their data. 

Fighting COVID-19 With Strong Tech Partners

When faced with the quickly growing COVID-19 health emergency, the CDC Foundation needed to raise funds fast. In under 24 hours, the team turned their existing Classy donation forms into a completely refreshed and up-to-date Emergency Response Fund campaign. The fundraising initiative helped the organization collect donations for immediate, flexible resources that CDC experts needed to address the public health crisis. 

With such an incredible response in donations from individuals, philanthropies, and corporations, the CDC Foundation turned to Cloud for Good to learn how to track and manage contributions better through Salesforce. Salesforce’s sophisticated reports and dashboards helped them better understand who supported its campaign and how to keep those donors involved through the height of the growing pandemic.

These improved donor management processes helped the CDC Foundation further segment communications, making each donor and corporate partner feel seen and heard. The organization also traded paper documentation and generic bulk communications for greatly improved email, phone calls, and direct mail correspondence.

Life-Changing Results From a 360-View of Fundraising

Cloud for Good and Classy were able to keep pace with this unprecedented fundraising effort, helping the CDC Foundation to see:

• $30M in donations to the Emergency Response Fund in less than three months
• $1,294,352 raised on Classy between 2020 and 2021 for the Emergency Response campaign
• 7,240 donors engaged between 2020 and 2021 for the Emergency Response campaign
