Digital Engagement The organization runs a modern tech stack (Drupal, Sitecore, Canva, Crazy Egg, Asana, Paylocity, Siteimprove, Zoom) and has ongoing content and analytics needs, representing opportunities for web personalization, CMS optimization, digital fundraising, and collaboration tools.

Expansive Reach With over 4 million members across 10,000 congregations, the ELCA presents a large, distributed footprint suitable for scalable church management, donor platforms, and multi-site communications solutions that support nationwide campaigns and messaging.

Content & Ethics Ecosystem Recent leadership changes and thematic programming around sexuality, ethics, and ministry policy indicate a need for robust content management, policy publishing, and secure collaboration among clergy and administrators.

Social Impact Partnerships Collaborations on hunger, homelessness, and community support (World Hunger initiatives, partnerships with local organizations) suggest opportunities for donor engagement platforms, grant administration, and impact storytelling solutions aligned with social programs.
