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.

Creating a safe place for members to heal and support one another

Alliance for Safety and Justice is building a future in which all communities are “Just Safe.” It is a multi-state advocacy organization that combines smart policy reform with organizing and representing survivors, people with old records, and the organizations that serve them. ASJ contracted with Fíonta to build an Experience Cloud portal catering to two of its core programs: Crime Survivors for Safety (CSSJ) and TimeDone. These initiatives offer assistance and community to both crime survivors and people with old records. The primary objective was to establish a secure, authenticated online platform, enabling program members to interact, support one another, and engage with program services to influence local, state, and national policies.

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

What our clients are saying

The folks at Fíonta patiently guided us through the tedious process of transferring our data from Blackbaud to Salesforce. They were and are always available to answer questions and come up with creative solutions to our particular needs. PFLAG National
Databases can be really scary for nonprofits like ours. We don't have dedicated database analysts on staff, so this kind of project requires a lot of trust. That's one great thing about Fíonta—you can trust them with your data and your nonprofit's future. Mental Health America

Fionta has been fantastic to work with. We had difficult individuals on our end who complicated the project, but every step of the way Fionta was accommodating and helpful to make sure we were all happy with the finished product. Genesys Works
Fíonta has that ideal combination of exceptional technical skill and outstanding customer service. The consultant I worked with dove right in, figuring out a system he didn't originally implement. His analytical skills are amazing, and he quickly identified the right solution for a variety of issues...he explained everything to me in a way I could understand. Los Angeles Conservancy
We've been blown away by the quality of Fíonta's work product as well as the communication from the design and development teams throughout. All of our feedback and desires were taken into account from the start of the project and the Fíonta team did a great job synthesizing everything into a website that more than delivers on our initial vision.
