MicroEdge Reveals Unique Glimpse Into The Christopher Reeve Foundation

MicroEdge, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advent Software (NASDAQ: ADVS) and leading provider of solutions for the grantmaking community worldwide, today announced the availability of a Case Study focused on the Christopher Reeve Foundation (CRF), an organization recognized as the premier spinal cord injury (SCI) research organization in the world. The Christopher Reeve Foundation has been a MicroEdge GIFTS® user since 2003. MicroEdge President George W. Macintyre said, "The Christopher Reeve Foundation story is very special to everyone in the world of philanthropy, and we are pleased to have helped manage the remarkable growth the organization has experienced in the past several years. It’s a distinct honor that the Christopher Reeve Foundation has chosen GIFTS® for their foundation management. Over the past 20 years, GIFTS® has established a superior reputation for delivering comprehensive, integrated solutions to meet the needs of private foundations, and we are proud that our systems are used to support CRF’s progressive work." A summary of how MicroEdge’s GIFTS® software helped the organization with accelerated grantmaking is found in a new Case Study, now available from MicroEdge. With the implementation of GIFTS®, the Christopher Reeve Foundation has benefited from the advanced grants management capabilities, relying specifically on powerful, integrated coding and reporting tools that improve CRF’s ability to assess and project scientific research trends. "I had some discussions with counterparts at other organizations, and found that many of them were using MicroEdge GIFTS®,” commented Douglas Landsman, Ph.D., who serves as Director, Individual Research Grants Program for the Christopher Reeve Foundation. "We were excited about its potential and have been using GIFTS to streamline our administrative processes. In addition, GIFTS® integration with IGAM Integrated Web Forms for Giving has enabled us to begin accepting grant applications online.” The complete Case Study can be requested at https://www.microedge.com/products/casestudies/cs_reeve.asp About The Christopher Reeve Foundation The Christopher Reeve Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy.
