Fundraising Tech They already use GiveSmart for fundraising and WordPress/Squarespace for web presence, indicating a strong donor engagement base and accessible digital channels. With events like the Annual Luncheon and Jelani House anniversaries, there is potential to expand donor CRM integration, optimize recurring giving, enhance sponsor management, and boost overall fundraising efficiency through an integrated platform and analytics.
Housing and Services Jelani House marks SF's first transitional housing for pregnant/postpartum women experiencing homelessness, signaling ongoing service expansion. This presents opportunities to provide program management and case management workflows, outcomes reporting to funders, and partnerships with service providers to scale impact and secure grants focused on family stability and maternal health.
Leadership Outreach Recent executive leadership changes (Executive Director in 2023; CEO in 2022) create an opening for proactive engagement with senior leadership. Propose tailored briefings on solutions that align with strategic goals, pilots in key program areas, and co-created measurement frameworks to demonstrate impact to funders.
Digital Presence Current tech stack includes WordPress, PHP, MySQL, and Squarespace with GiveSmart for fundraising. There is an opportunity to modernize digital infrastructure for accessibility, security, and performance, consolidate CMS, improve donor journeys, enhance analytics, and ensure strong security practices such as appropriate content-type headers.
Funding Growth With revenue in the tens of millions, the organization has significant fundraising potential from corporate sponsors, foundations, and government grants. High-profile events like the Annual Luncheon offer opportunities for sponsorship packages and partner marketing; consider services around grants management, fundraising campaign support, and technology modernization to unlock growth.
