The Littlest Heroes: Streamlined Donor Management Solution
For years, WRIS Web Services’ CTO, Adam Euans, and his wife, Jen, have participated in The Littlest Heroes’ Adopt A Family program as their Christmas gift to each other. Inspired by their generosity, Adam brought the idea to WRIS, and it quickly became a company tradition. Last year, while participating, we realized we could do more than just donate gifts—we could donate our skills. Led by Adam, WRIS Web Services developed a custom ColdFusion application, provided as a donation, to automate the donor and family registration process. This solution ensures that The Littlest Heroes can seamlessly connect donors with families, making holiday giving more efficient and impactful.

The Challenge:
Managing the Adopt A Family program was time-consuming due to manual data entry and donor-family matching. The organization struggled with tracking wish lists, donor preferences, and gift statuses, making it difficult to efficiently pair families with donors. They needed a centralized, automated system to streamline operations and ensure every family received the support they needed.
The Solution:
WRIS Web Services built a custom ColdFusion application that consolidates donor and family registrations into a single, easy-to-manage system. Automated matching ensures families are paired with donors based on need, while built-in tracking and notifications keep everything organized. A user-friendly interface simplifies administrative tasks, allowing The Littlest Heroes team to focus on their mission rather than paperwork.
