DES MOINES, Iowa, May 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CDS Global, a leading business solutions provider to nonprofit organizations, and Classy, creator of world-class online fundraising software, announce their partnership allowing both organizations to leverage each other’s complementary solutions, technologies, and industry expertise to help nonprofits connect their donors’ online and offline giving activity.
“CDS Global has a long history of providing the operational solutions and support that nonprofits need to advance their missions and focus on the important work that they do,” said Malcolm Netburn, chairman and CEO of CDS Global. “Our partnership with Classy enhances these services and provides a streamlined set of solutions for nonprofits to track online and offline donor activity.”
CDS Global can now support Classy clients with the following solutions: donations processing with automated data capture, printing and mailing of donor acknowledgement letters, multichannel customer service support and end-to-end e-commerce and premium fulfillment.
In return, CDS Global clients now have access to the Classy Fundraising Suite, a robust, integrated suite of online fundraising products that includes: peer-to-peer fundraising, crowdfunding, general website donations, events, and international fundraising capabilities, all flowing through Classy Manager, the platform’s centralized hub for campaign management.
“In today’s fragmented fundraising landscape, modern nonprofits need to diversify their revenue streams now more than ever, and that includes the ability to marry their online efforts with what’s happening offline,” said Scot Chisholm, CEO and co-founder of Classy. “By tying together a donor’s online and offline activities in partnership with CDS Global, we hope to empower nonprofits with a deeper understanding of their supporters that allows them to deliver more relevant and impactful experiences.”
As the partnership progresses, CDS Global and Classy will explore opportunities to develop new and integrated solutions that are powered by the combined data set.
