Optimizing Data for Greater Impact
Miriam’s Kitchen (MK) is a Washington, DC–based nonprofit working to end chronic homelessness through a combination of advocacy and direct services. Known for its dignity-first approach, MK supports individuals with housing, health care, and connection to community resources, while advocating for systemic change in homelessness policy. The organization engages a diverse network of supporters, including donors, volunteers, and policymakers.
MK partnered with Fíonta for a strategic technology consultation focused on maximizing value from its Salesforce ecosystem. The engagement began with a high-level assessment and evolved into a phased implementation roadmap. Fíonta provided comprehensive diagnostics, strategic recommendations, and managed services to modernize Salesforce, streamline operations, and support internal capacity-building.

Driving Transparency Through Real-Time Grants Access
The Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA) is the largest nonprofit funder of melanoma research, committed to accelerating scientific breakthroughs through global grantmaking. With over $175 million awarded to date, MRA plays a pivotal role in the scientific community’s understanding of melanoma prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
As part of a broader digital modernization effort, MRA aimed to make its portfolio of funded research projects more accessible and up-to-date for researchers, donors, and the public. Fíonta partnered with MRA to replace its outdated batch-sync grants display with a real-time Salesforce integration, fully embedded into the organization’s redesigned Webflow website. The result is a dynamic, user-friendly resource reinforcing MRA’s commitment to transparency and impact.
Association
Restoring Confidence and Reimagining Systems
The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) is a global advisor and thought leader committed to transforming the health ecosystem through information and technology. As a mission-driven membership organization serving professionals in healthcare, policy, and innovation, HIMSS relies heavily on integrated digital systems to deliver consistent, high-value experiences to its members.
HIMSS turned to Fíonta for strategic leadership following an earlier AMS implementation. Focusing on member experience, data integrity, and platform optimization, Fíonta helped HIMSS stabilize operations and lay the foundation for scalable, long-term success.
What our clients are saying
Fíonta’s Managed Services (Accent) team has been a very helpful resource for our small association. Our ongoing arrangement with Accent has allowed us to establish a productive cadence to address small configuration changes with their support. While having continuous conversations to make sure we’re keeping an eye on long-term needs, the flexibility to engage with the broader Fíonta team when we need support to complete more resource-intensive projects.
They followed our lead when it came to dependencies, complexities, and details and utilized their expertise and knowledge of Salesforce to help us make connections and recommendations.
Seriously, I have never worked with a more committed vendor. Big love from Seneca Park Zoo Society for the Fíonta crew.
A lot of implementation partners don't act as true "partners" but Fíonta absolutely did! We felt like true partners throughout the project and as a result, our transition to Pardot was smooth and our team felt ready to jump right into the product without any hitches from the implementation. A breath of fresh air for our organization!
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.
I definitely want to work with Fíonta again. The value they provided exceeded my expectations. Great design, scalable solutions, timely turnaround, and appropriate risk management are just a few reasons why I prefer Fíonta over other partners. They finished on time and within budget, too!
