Improving nonprofit event management
See how Blackthorn Events has helped real nonprofits.
The National Kidney Foundation outgrew its previous event management tool, making event creation and data tracking a challenge. Blackthorn Events immediately enabled better attendee experiences with mobile check-ins, automated feedback collection, and enriched donor insights. With a public event calendar and full transparency across 33 field offices, the team is able to put on high-impact events that drive repeat attendance and maximize donations.
Hadassah struggled with disconnected systems and limited event personalization. Blackthorn Events transformed their approach by making Salesforce their central system of record. By integrating Blackthorn Messaging with Marketing Cloud, the team improved event communication and expanded outreach with customized landing pages and user-friendly registration paths.
When COVID-19 forced a shift to virtual events, PMD Alliance turned to Blackthorn Events to adapt quickly. Unlike their previous manual system, Blackthorn made it easy to track attendee relationships and donor interactions. The team used Blackthorn’s toolset to identify and communicate with event attendees who hadn’t donated, helping keep PMD Alliance on track for its fundraising goal despite pandemic challenges.
Your events. Your data. All in Salesforce.
