When we in Stewardship and Development at the UUA decided that we needed to move to a new CRM, we met with several potential consultants, but Raise HECK stood out to us because of their warm approach to choosing a CRM. Raise HECK’s honesty about the trials of migration and the eventual smooth landing gave us further hope that as we inched closer to a decision, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and we’ll be a stronger nonprofit for it. They encouraged independent research, answered any questions we had or provided resources on how to find the answers we needed. They provided a safe and productive space to work through the emotional side of choosing a new CRM with weekly check-ins and empowered us to make the best evidence-based decision for our organization. In short, we were in good, graceful, knowledgeable hands with Charlotte and Sally.

Our CRM was going to be sunsetted, and we needed to find something new fast. We wanted help to find a new solution that would be right for us. We hired Raise HECK to give us an objective assessment of our technology needs and how they matched up with our program and goals. They delivered a great assessment to us, and also gave us a deeper understanding of the industry. Bridgercare feels more well-equipped now to find a solution that will support our program and that will have staying power. Raise HECK has kept in touch with us to keep us in the loop when there’s news we need to know. We really love working with them!

As Greenwood Gardens has grown, we have recognized that our technology needs have evolved at the same time. Raise HECK was instrumental in identifying alternative solutions for us to consider that will best serve the changing needs of both our organization and our constituents. We are grateful for their expertise.

Vera Institute of Justice selected Raise HECK to help us in our search to replace all of our technology solutions: primarily digital, CRM, and grant management. We had never fully integrated our legacy tools, and as an organization we were ready for change. We had committed to finding the right solution, but weren’t sure how to start our search and evaluation process. Raise HECK has a deep understanding of nonprofit operational and fundraising needs and they led us through a thorough and efficient process to understand our needs, requirements and priorities. They then aligned the needs assessment with their top three recommended solutions for Vera. I’d highly recommend working with Sally and Charlotte. They were straightforward, responsive and a pleasure to work with.

The International African American Museum (IAAM) worked with Raise HECK to support our migration to a new CRM. Sally and Charlotte were a tremendous partner throughout the process. They flagged items for us to consider and asked questions we simply wouldn’t have known to ask to ensure everything was set up properly to meet our needs. They have an in-depth knowledge of technology and how it supports an organization’s requirements. They also go above and beyond what is requested and give their all for the project and client. They are fun and a joy to work with, now not only are they colleagues but they are friends. I would recommend them to anyone who is contemplating making a change in technology.

When We All Vote initially hired Raise HECK to help us through a migration from BSD Tools to EveryAction. As with any technology change (not to mention in the middle of an election), we were struggling to adopt the new features and understand the data structures. Raise HECK had incredible knowledge about the solution and was diligent and detailed in their attention to our data and organizational needs. They had keen insight into how change management was impacting us and put in place an easy to follow plan to address it. They presented a clear and helpful training for our staff and were instrumental in getting us up and running on EveryAction in time for the 2020 election push. They are smart, funny, very responsive and great to work with…so much so that we worked together again on our electoral email efforts. Their support late in the cycle as we were nearing Election Day was invaluable to our work. Personally, I had complete confidence in their work and that took a huge amount of stress off of my plate just when I needed that extra space the most. I’d highly recommend working with Raise HECK!

When we needed to layer in more political messaging to our members, the Raise HECK team had just the right approach. Sally and Charlotte combined good strategy, technical skill, and a pleasant can-do attitude to develop and execute a high-quality program that helped us turn our members into volunteers. Along the way, they worked well with our existing team, learned to speak in our voice, and maximized the return on our tools. We were fortunate to work with them on this critical project.

The League of Women Voters needed to replace our digital marketing solution and we were looking for help assessing our needs and ultimately selecting a solution. Sally and Charlotte were true partners in this journey, and it was a great experience. They provided a clear and thorough process with the right amount of flexibility. We would highly recommend Raise HECK for a technology assessment and selection project.

We have been consistently impressed with how Raise HECK combines industry expertise and insightful analysis to produce tailored, specific, and achievable recommendations. We’ve worked with Charlotte and Sally on multiple projects to enhance our digital marketing and evaluate our CRM. We keep coming back because in every project they take the time to truly understand our needs and requirements; they gather broad input from across our organization, and they provide clear assessments that consider both the technical and human aspects of our work. With every engagement, we have received a road map of recommended actions and guidance on managing these internal changes, which has set us up for several successful transformations of our digital marketing and data management practices over the last three years.

When our client had some serious email deliverability issues to tackle right before end of year fundraising season (Yikes!), we turned to Raise HECK to do a deep dive into DMARC, DKIM and SPF. Don't know what that means? Talk to Raise HECK and get them to provide you with a detailed analysis as to what might be stopping your messages from getting to your supporters and top-notch recommendations on what to do about it.

Raise HECK helped Moms Clean Air Force at a crucial time when we had lost our digital marketing staff. They jumped in to manage our program while also training a team member (me) who was new to the digital space. During the years of their mentorship, I became proficient in the field and a leader on our staff, and Raise HECK turned their attention to innovative initiatives to help Moms expand our fundraising and reach supporters through new channels. With their help, Moms tripled our online donor base and is now even more of a force to be reckoned with to protect children's health.

Raise HECK helped us assess our technology and conducted a multi-phased process to find a technology partner and solution to drive our anticipated growth. Sally & Charlotte guided us through both a Request for Information & a Request for Proposal to find the best fit for our unique needs. With over 40 potential vendors, the amount of time our organization saved due to their management of logistics and communications was immense. We had a lot of fun and great experience working with them. We highly recommend Raise HECK and hope to have the pleasure of partnering with them again in the future.
