Fundraising Platform As a small nonprofit focused on affordable housing policy, Equitable Housing Institute is well positioned to leverage an affordable nonprofit CRM and fundraising platform that combines donor management, grant tracking, and campaign automation. A lightweight, cloud-based solution with easy onboarding and Google Cloud compatibility would support donor stewardship, grant reporting, and events with minimal internal resources.

Policy Analytics EHI's mission to remove regulatory barriers creates an opportunity for a data-driven advocacy toolkit. Offer a policy analytics and visualization platform that ingests zoning and housing data, tracks policy proposals and outcomes, and presents impact dashboards for policymakers, funders, and supporters. This could help quantify advocacy ROI and support grant reporting.

Tech Modernization With a modest tech stack current on relatively older frameworks, EHI could benefit from website modernization and accessibility improvements, a modern CMS, analytics integration, and improved security. A low-risk upgrade path on Google Cloud with managed hosting and a responsive site would improve outreach, fundraising conversions, and policy footprint.

Grant & Outreach Given limited revenue, EHI could accelerate funding by adopting grant lifecycle and donor outreach solutions, including proposals, reporting templates, and automated follow-ups. A bundled package tailored for small nonprofits would help streamline grant applications, donor communications, and campaign tracking while minimizing IT overhead.

Partnership & Growth There is potential for collaboration with larger policy research and housing nonprofits to amplify impact. Proposals could focus on co-branded policy research, coalition campaigns, and shared data efforts, supported by services that handle data integration, joint fundraising, and outcomes reporting.
