Software and Support from Cleveland-Based Company Will Aim to Increase Engagement and Donations
CLEVELAND OH AUGUST 5, 2019- United Way of Summit County (https://www.uwsummit.org/), after a lengthy review process, has partnered with Big River Online (https://www.donorpoint.com/) to overhaul their donor engagement software services, including fundraising, events and more.
“We were very impressed with Big River,” said Jim Mullen President and CEO of United Way of Summit County. “They’re local, have a proven track record with other United Way associations and offered quick implementation, easy-to-understand reporting and integration none of the other platforms we were looking at could match. Big River will make it easier for people to build a sustained relationship with United Way, and it will modernize the way our donors invest in their own community.”
The agreement will expand United Way’s ability to set up events, coordinate volunteers, manage peer-to-peer relationships and build corporate partnerships and other types of fundraising, and allow for one-time, ongoing or payroll deductions.
“We’re very pleased to be able to help an organization and community with a history as rich as theirs,” said Ron Cass Founder and CEO of Big River Online. “If you look at how this United Way, with roots going back to the United Fund, the Community Chest, and even further back, has helped in its community, and how this community, from individuals to small business, to multinational organization, have helped and formed this United Way, it’s an honor to become a part of that system.”
