Press release: Idealist Consulting Becomes Authorized StayClassy Solution Provider
NOVEMBER 14, 2013 - PORTLAND, OR—Idealist Consulting announced today that it is now an authorized partner in the StayClassy solution provider program, a program designed for companies wanting to implement StayClassy software and provide related services. Idealist Consulting is one of the first partners to be authorized around StayClassy, a leading provider of fundraising software for nonprofits. Idealist Consulting provides nonprofits with high-quality consulting and implementation services for nonprofit organizations looking to maximize their return on investment in technology.
Idealist Consulting has extensive experience working with the Salesforce platform and serving organizations of all sizes in the nonprofit sector. “StayClassy has provided a viable solution to facilitate peer-to-peer fundraising on the Salesforce platform and this is a long time coming” said Rob Jordan, CEO and Founder of Idealist Consulting. “It is solid as a stand-alone product and they are now debuting the solution in the Salesforce Ecosystem via the AppExchange.”
Mike Spear, Director of Platform Engagement for StayClassy added: "With experience working with nonprofit organizations and deep Salesforce expertise, Idealist Consulting delivers important value to the nonprofit sector. Now that StayClassy is fully integrated with the Salesforce platform, Idealist Consulting will be able to provide a level of customization expertise that will help nonprofits take their online fundraising and supporter engagement to new levels."
As an authorized partner, Idealist Consulting worked with client Team Rubicon to successfully deploy one of StayClassy’s first peer-to-peer fundraising implementations on the Salesforce platform. Aided by the simple steam-lined fundraising pages provided by StayClassy, disaster relief organization Team Rubicon was recently able to raise over $135,000 in just a few short days to support its efforts on the ground aiding survivors of the typhoon in the Philippines. With the custom Salesforce setup implemented by Idealist Consulting, Team Rubicon has been able to effectively manage the influx of donors, thanking and connecting with each one in a manner that wouldn’t have been possible without the integration. Through this project, Idealist Consulting has proven that they are well versed on the implementation methodology and best practices around StayClassy solutions.
About StayClassy:
StayClassy is a fast-growing San Diego-based startup that develops an online fundraising platform used by thousands of nonprofit organizations around the world. The company was founded in 2006 by a couple of friends who were looking to fundraise for charity, but didn't know how to get started. They envisioned a platform that made it easy for nonprofits to turn their supporters into fundraisers; and so, they set off to build one. After years of testing their concept with dozens of nonprofits, that initial idea has evolved into what is now an industry-leading online fundraising solution for charities, foundations, churches, and schools. The company is also the host of the CLASSY Awards, the largest philanthropic awards show in the country. For more information, visit www.stayclassy.org
