What Our Clients Are Saying

An Investment in Results

RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITIES OF OREGON AND SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON

"What sets Cause and Solution apart is their ability to creatively personalize systems, making them work for our individual needs, rather than the other way around. Because of their deep expertise and dedication, our CRM is now a tool that empowers our development team to do what we do best—drive revenue in order to support families during the most difficult times in their lives.

Every person we've worked with at Cause and Solution has been knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. We don’t think of them as a vendor—they are an extension of our RMHC family. Their partnership has not only` made us more efficient but has directly impacted our ability to sustain and grow the compassionate support we offer to families.

I can say with complete confidence that I couldn’t do my job as effectively without them. Their support has been instrumental in helping us elevate our development work, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to any RMHC chapter looking to grow, streamline, and center their systems around their needs.”

UC HEALTH FOUNDATION

"Cause and Solution’s (CSI’s) expertise and combined 60+ years of experience in all things fundraising and Blackbaud has been invaluable to our development and data management teams.

We have worked with CSI on everything from training, process development, merging and cleanup of data for our five foundations to appeal strategies and establishing standardized metrics.

Transitioning our gift processing and data management to CSI has been pivotal to optimizing our resources and providing staff with more time to focus on our donors. CSI is committed to excellence and works closely with our team to find solutions for automation, best practices, solving problems and day to day support."

“Tammy and the entire team at Cause and Solution, Inc. were instrumental in making the transition to Blackbaud RENXT seamless! We would have been lost without them. Now that we are over that hurdle, we are able to use Cause and Solution, Inc. for projects that would otherwise occupy our staff and take away from our other duties.
