Fíonta Association Accelerator

Born from Fíonta’s deep association expertise, Fíonta Association Accelerator marries years of Salesforce proficiency with an unwavering commitment to resolve your challenges.

Manage members and increase engagement with Fíonta Association Accelerator

Associations connect people with common interests to foster exceptional personal and professional development. Their success relies on a well-integrated membership technology platform, a cornerstone for streamlined operations and outstanding member experiences.

Since its founding in 2001, Fíonta has witnessed a struggle for associations burdened by antiquated, overly complex systems and disjointed data sources. The result? Dismal member engagement and cumbersome processes that drain precious time and resources. The urgency to act is palpable as associations understand the need to centralize and embrace a singular platform – the key to data consolidation, tech stack simplicity, and the seamless journey your members now demand.

Association

Securing member data and access online

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) is respected for its dedication to industrial hygiene and occupational and environmental health and safety communities. This membership-based organization founded in the New Deal era has stayed relevant to its growing membership by providing robust benefits, many of which are now accessible through its digital properties. These include a WordPress website fully integrated with Fonteva, an Association Management Solution (AMS) built on Salesforce. Under our guidance, the website was migrated to a new hosting solution, Pantheon, without disrupting member services or access. Visit website

Enhancing the quality of life for millions, one donation at a time

The Amputee Coalition (AC) is the nation’s leading organization on limb loss. AC is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for amputees and their families, improving patient care, and preventing limb loss. With the generous support of the public, they are helping amputees live well with limb loss, raising awareness about limb loss prevention, and ensuring amputees have a voice in matters affecting their ability to live full, thriving lives. AC engaged Fíonta to upgrade their 12-year-old Salesforce instance, which no longer served their needs efficiently. Visit website

Foundation

Streamlining grantmaking processes

The International Sustainable Energy Foundation (ISEF) promotes an environmentally sustainable and climate-friendly world by supporting actions that contribute to the preservation of the environment. Its work includes creating access for development, adaptation, air quality, climate finance, cities and urban planning, decarbonization, equitable transition, land use, low-carbon development, resilience, smart agriculture, sustainable energy policies, water, and more, all within a sustainable development paradigm. ISEF came to Fíonta looking for a system to manage their grantmaking and a desire to connect traditional grantmaking endeavors back to the source funds tracked through donations and grants, robust reporting, an online grant portal, and automatic generation of award letters.

What our clients are saying

They demonstrated an understanding of nonprofit needs and displayed a willingness to accommodate our budget and schedule. All of the staff...were incredibly professional and knowledgeable about Salesforce. I enjoyed the time the database engineer took to understand our particular Salesforce instance. I'd recommend Fíonta to everyone! Institute for Policy Studies
The tools Fíonta has at its disposal make the conversion process a breeze. I have been through this process a few times in my career, and this is, without a doubt, the easiest and most efficient conversion I have ever experienced. I highly recommend that all member-based nonprofits give Fíonta serious consideration for their needs. American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists
We hired Fíonta to overhaul our Salesforce after a botched transition from Raiser's Edge. Right from the get-go, the Fíonta team has taken time to understand our needs and respond accordingly. They are very quick to get back to us, and always let us guide the conversation and set priorities while still using their expertise to keep us on track. Free the Slaves
I was deeply impressed with Fíonta’s skills, team, and dedication. Alliance for Safety and Justice

Fíonta clearly has a recipe for success on deploying Classy for Salesforce integration. They were thorough and communicative. Bread for the City

I have been doing this line of work for over 25 years. I have never encountered such an exceptional firm as Fíonta...we had an aggressive timeline, but at no time did Fíonta make it feel like it was aggressive. Norman Rockwell Museum
