STROUDSBURG, PA – June 28, 2010 ‐ Stellar Technology Solutions LLC, a leading provider of
web‐based solutions for philanthropic management, announces the benefits gained by the
Greater Green Bay Community Foundation (GGBCF) after the full implementation of its
iPhi™(integrated philanthropy) product suite.
In the 4 years leading up to the economic downturn the Greater Green Bay Community
Foundation had successfully doubled in asset size and the number of funds they manage while
increasing their granting by more than 250%. When the economy started to turn it became
apparent to CEO David Pamperin that he needed the operational infrastructure capable of
sustaining the success they had achieved. Engaging donors, partners and non‐profit agencies
would be critical to maintaining their success and remaining competitive in the market place
during a difficult economy.
GGBCF’s president, board and staff had a significant vision for enhancing the operational back
office of the foundation while extending real time information and interactivity to donors,
agencies, grantee organizations and even visitors to their public web site.
“Our original goal was to enhance our technical infrastructure and provide secure on‐line gifting
and granting access to our donors in support of our growth.” explains David Pamperin, President
and CEO of Greater Green Bay Community Foundation.
“What we realize now is that the Stellar
suite of products enabled us to fully integrate data from our public site to our private constituent
views (donors, agencies) and to our staff operations at the Foundation. By providing interactive
and dynamic information in a single web‐based solution, we empower our constituents to take
action. The result is that we’ve been better able to serve our community, increase our
transparency, be more efficient in our business processes and increase our offerings; all while
navigating a challenging economy.”
iPhi CoreEnterprise™ provides GGBCF with a single software platform enabling real time, cross‐
departmental tracking and consolidated reporting of donors, funds, transactions, information,
communications, accounting and investment data as philanthropic transactions flow through
their lifecycles.
The secure private views for donors and partners extend this real‐time information to
personalized online access dashboards, enabling GGBCF donors, financial advisors, agencies and
other partners to interact with immediately available and changing information, reports, statuses and financial/transactional information. Online transactions entered by constituents
flow seamlessly to Stellar’s iPhi CoreEnterprise™ (back office).
iPhi WebManager™ provides GGBCF with a web‐based Content Management System to manage
its overall web presence and delivers engaging and relevant online experiences via GGBCF’s
public website. In addition, the Foundation recently launched Giving Opportunities which
provides online‐giving links on the foundation’s website for specific programs/projects critical to
the mission of the foundation enabling directed real‐time contributions.
"We are very pleased at Stellar Technology Solutions to have been able to work with the Greater
Green Bay Community Foundation to assist them in achieving their business and technology
goals." said Bryan Mileger President and CEO of Stellar Technology Solutions.
"We believe that the
integrated nature of our suite of products is quite unique in the philanthropic market place and
that organizations such as the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation can derive significant
benefits from the improvement in the quality of services they can provide to their donors, board
members, grantee organizations and broader community members."About Greater Green Bay Community Foundation
