Community Engagement BEC regularly leads and participates in the Bidwell Park and Chico Creeks cleanup, creating strong community engagement and sponsorship opportunities. This active event ecosystem offers a natural channel for donor outreach and onsite fundraising and merchandise sales via their Squarespace site.

Lean Team Support With a small staff, BEC could benefit from outsourced IT, website management, and digital fundraising support to scale impact without hiring.

Platform Modernization The current mix of Drupal and Squarespace suggests a fragmented web stack; opportunities exist to consolidate CMS usage, streamline data flow with MariaDB, and enhance security, performance, and SEO through modernization.

Security and Compliance Donor data protection is critical for trust; propose ongoing security hardening, vulnerability monitoring, and privacy guidance aligned with online donations and nonprofit requirements including HSTS compliance.

Growth Potential There is room to accelerate fundraising and program impact through donor analytics, grant management, and targeted campaigns, supported by a CRM and marketing stack that can scale with growth.
