Non-Profit Leverages Google Cloud Analytics to Enhance Fundraising

A child and family care non-profit partnered with CDW to establish a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) foundation that enables artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data analysis for fundraising optimization. Through a secure and scalable solution, the organization now captures actionable insights, improving their transactional and relational fundraising strategies.

The client is a well-established non-profit focused on child and family services, offering community programs, crisis support, health care, behavioral research and specialized services for children with severe challenges. Facing increasing operational demands, they sought to better utilize their fundraising data to drive impactful decisions.

The non-profit hosted multiple applications on-premises and needed a robust cloud infrastructure that ensured survivability, scalability, security and compliance. They required a foundation that could analyze their fundraising data using Google BigQuery and Vertex AI to identify trends and optimize their fundraising strategies effectively.

CDW designed and deployed a comprehensive Google Cloud foundation tailored to the organization’s needs. The solution included SSO integration, IAM policy implementation and on-premises connectivity setup, ensuring seamless and secure operations. CDW also deployed BigQuery and Vertex AI for advanced data analytics, alongside core networking and firewall configurations for a secure cloud infrastructure.

Additional deliverables included Cloud Logging, Cloud Storage, DNS forwarding, and thorough testing and validation. The project concluded with comprehensive documentation and knowledge transfer, empowering the client’s IT and security teams to manage and expand upon the infrastructure.

The organization now utilizes BigQuery and Vertex AI to analyze their fundraising and GA4 datasets, uncovering actionable insights. With a secure GCP foundation aligned with their identity provider and security standards, the non-profit has enhanced scalability and ensured data integrity.

This partnership also established a knowledge framework, equipping the internal team to manage the cloud infrastructure and explore future GCP capabilities for additional workloads.

By partnering with CDW, the non-profit gained a robust GCP foundation that facilitates AI-powered data insights, setting the stage for optimized fundraising strategies and sustained growth.
