No Limits for Deaf Children and Families Program
No Limits for Deaf Children was founded in 1996 by Dr. Michelle Christie, Ed.D. Recognizing the lack of opportunities for children with a hearing loss to improve their speaking abilities in a fun and non-academic setting, Dr. Christie designed an after-school theater program to help develop communication skills, expand vocabulary and grammar, and understand character development. Through role-playing, cultivating creativity, and developing public speaking skills, No Limits children began to confidently move into the hearing world.
“The campaign function has been big for us because we have a lot of events. It’s so easy to put together a campaign and track it and send it out right away. And so that has been a lifesaver for us because we probably have about 20 campaigns going on this year.“

The Challenge
Prior to adopting Giveffect, No Limits for Deaf Children and Families (NLDCF) grappled with the challenge of managing eight separate softwares for their daily operations and administrative tasks. The constant manual data entry, downloading, and uploading of data between platforms created a disjointed workflow. Gaining a holistic view of organizational data was nearly impossible. Moreover, their choice of tools had a detrimental impact on their web presence. This inefficiency not only drained valuable time and resources but also impeded their capacity to focus on donors, supporters, and overall community impact.
The Solutions
No Limits For Deaf Children discovered Giveffect’s all-in-one nonprofit platform, empowering them to efficiently manage their operations, streamline fundraising, and enhance data retrieval while benefiting from intelligent automation.
Event and Campaign Creation to Raise More Funds
Using Giveffect’s event and campaign creation module, NLDCF quickly launched successful campaign pages within a month of adopting the platform. Giveffect enables nonprofits to create branded webpages, or ‘Campaigns,’ for fundraising and volunteer efforts, streamlining revenue generation by allowing supporters to take various actions like purchasing tickets, sponsoring events, bidding on items, or making donations, all from a centralized hub.
Eliminating Manual Data Entry with Advanced Reporting
Giveffect’s advanced analytics and reporting tools empower NLDCF to easily generate reports on volunteer hours, job data, donations, annual donor support, and the success of fundraising campaigns year after year. This streamlines information retrieval across the organization and saves valuable time, eliminating manual data transfer, searching across platforms, or reformatting spreadsheets. Giveffect’s robust reporting and querying capabilities enable rapid and comprehensive searches through thousands of records in seconds.
Smart Automation to Save Time & Process Data
Giveffect’s proprietary Smart Automation connects all of Giveffect’s 10 systems to communicate with one another so that NLDCF automates processes and connects data, actions, and tasks throughout the software suite. This saves the organization time and errors that could occur from manual data entries.
Results
Since switching to Giveffect, NLDCF streamlined operations, eliminating data entry. They ran 123 campaigns, raising $1.5 million compared to their $290,000 campaign goals. Additionally, they received 5,758 donations through Giveffect since 2016, totaling over $8 million in revenue.
