BWF Zuri

When you bring together two established brands, a logo becomes more than design. It becomes a statement of identity, continuity, and shared future.

As we created the new BWF Zuri brand, we wanted to honor the history, trust, and reputation both organizations built over many years, while also clearly signaling something new: deeper integration, expanded capability, and a united vision for the future of nonprofit impact.

A thoughtful logo should not just look different. It should tell the story of why the organization exists and where it is headed next.

In this process, every detail was intentional. See every detail.

Is your CRM helping your mission or getting in the way of it?

One of the biggest misconceptions nonprofits face is assuming technology alone is the problem when donor engagement efforts fall short. In reality, the challenge often lies within a broader ecosystem of people, processes, data, and technology.

In a recent conversation with BWF Zuri experts Christina Pulawski and Wayne Combs, a key takeaway stood out: before replacing your CRM, diagnose the root cause. Sometimes the answer is better data governance, process improvements, or staff enablement—not a new platform.

Technology should empower your fundraising strategy, not dictate it. Read the Q&A facilitated by MissionWired here: https://hubs.li/Q04lcf7p0

⚽💫 🌍 The World Cup kicks off today and the world stage is coming alive!

We are excited and proud to partner with the U.S. Soccer Federation—an organization that continues to elevate the game, inspire millions of fans, and invest in the future of soccer across the country.

Our work together focused on strengthening their data and technology ecosystem to better connect with supporters, streamline operations, and unlock more meaningful engagement at scale.

Moments like this underscore why the Federation matters. The ability to understand, reach, and support fans in real time is critical and not just during the World Cup, but as the sport continues its rapid growth in the U.S.

We’re honored to play a small role in that journey and look forward to supporting U.S. Soccer’s continued success. Good luck to all the teams
