Dedham Savings Community Foundation has awarded a grant to Cocotree Kids, a Massachusetts nonprofit organization. Grant funds will help Cocotree Kids upgrade from a manual donor tracking system to a modern Customer Relationship Management platform. The new system will make it easier to manage donor relationships, track gifts, and organize fundraising efforts. The grant will also support staff training to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. By streamlining these processes, Cocotree Kids can dedicate more time expanding programs to serve even more families across the state.
