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 Fíonta partnered with MRA to replace its outdated batch-sync grants display with a real-time Salesforce integration, fully embedded into the organization’s redesigned Webflow website.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 has been a great partner. Unlike many consultants who can be in a relationship for as long as required, Fíonta goes the extra mile to make you feel they are on the journey with you.
Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (formerly Pardot) has been really helpful in terms of the automated emails, engagement paths, and one-on-one emails we could set up for routine requests.
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.
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.
The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities’ upgraded site now offers improved functionality and accessibility on a robust, secure hosting platform, and will be easily upgraded to Drupal 9 when the time comes.
Fíonta clearly has a recipe for success for Raiser's Edge to Salesforce migrations. I consider us lucky to have had their solid team and rich expertise leading us through the daunting and ambitious project. It was a lot of work, but we came out with better tools and more ownership of our data.
