From Chaos to Clarity: How One Catholic School Reinvented Fundraising

Erin Kohlhaas, ICRS’s Marketing Development Director, was determined to turn things around. But she faced an uphill battle: not only did she need to re-energize the donor base, she also had to rebuild trust and streamline processes that had grown frustratingly inefficient. How do you reconnect supporters, bring back excitement, and make sure every donor feels seen and valued, without burning out your small team?
That’s where Greater Giving came in. With its all-in-one event management solution, Kohlhaas was able to finally get her arms around donor data, track supporter engagement, and simplify the many moving parts of fundraising. The result? A major shift in how ICRS approached fundraising, one that increased revenue, brought people back into the room, and gave Kohlhaas the freedom to focus on what truly mattered: building relationships.
But that’s only part of the story. In the full case study, you’ll discover:
- The surprising ways donor data shaped ICRS’s new fundraising strategy.
- How automation eliminated stress and freed up valuable staff time.
- The specific results that proved fundraising could be both simpler and more successful.
This isn’t just a story about one Catholic school, it’s a roadmap for any organization looking to move from survival mode to strategic success.
