In the USA, United Way of Delaware, which manages fundraising campaigns on behalf of a number of local nonprofits, has announced that its new web-based system will save it over $20,000 a year.
The new web site, rolled out to 4,000 nonprofits, allows them to login securely and download their updated donor lists and funds transfer reports directly from the site.
The web site was developed by Helix and is fully integrated with the United Way back-office campaign management system ‘Andar’, also developed by Helix. “We have been working closely with the United Way of Delaware to design the web pages” said Real Bedard, vice president at Helix. “We used our existing integrated online pledging technology base to deliver live data from our Andar database directly to agencies.”

“The new web site not only saves us money, it also saves our agencies money” said Wayne Meadows, IT Director of the United Way. “Agencies now have access to information as it becomes available to us.”
United Way of Delaware’s annual campaign is supported by more than 90,000 individuals, including employee donors at nearly 1,000 Delaware workplaces.
Helix is a provider of enterprise-wide fundraising and community support software to nonprofit organisations. Helix’ Andar Fundraising Software is an integrated suite of products that offers fundraising campaign management, online giving, allocation of funds, outcomes measurements, volunteer matching, and other services.
