Value Stream Consulting Celebrates the IDEA Center's 40th Anniversary by Gifting Them Professional Services

Value Stream Consulting gifts $5,000 in services to The IDEA Center for their 40th Anniversary.

​ Value Stream Consulting, a CRM consulting firm with offices in Missouri and Kansas, announced today that they are gifting $5,000 worth of services to The IDEA Center. "More than half of our clients are nonprofit organizations, so we understand the immense value of giving back to the community, we are hoping to inspire other Kansas City area companies to do the same," said Value Stream Consulting's CEO John Licata. “Today, we are celebrating IDEA’s 40th Anniversary by gifting them $5,000 in professional services”, Licata added.

“The IDEA Center had been using Salesforce for managing the services they provide to higher education institutes, but not for their development activity”, said Cassie Scheib, Value Stream Consulting’s Director of Sales and Marketing. She added, “We will be gifting approximately 30 hours of professional services to implement a constituent relationship management system for IDEA focused on donor and grant management. This will be the third pro-bono project that we have gifted this year”.

"As a nonprofit organization, gifts such as these make it possible for us to be so much more effective than we could ever be on our own. Value Stream Consulting has become a valuable partner in helping us to achieve our mission, and I am truly grateful for their generous gift."
