For over 40 years, Proteus has been there for farmworkers and their families, helping them build better lives.
Since 1979, they’ve worked with agricultural workers across Iowa, Indiana, and Nebraska to provide affordable health care, education assistance and job training.
Challenge
As a multi-state nonprofit with decades of history, Proteus has continually evolved to meet the needs of their community. But their previous website fell short in key ways, including:
- Translation: Without translation options, clients who spoke languages other than English struggled to access vital program information.
- Fundraising: The site made it difficult for individual donors and sponsors to contribute to key programs and events.
To support their work and drive growth, they needed a website that provided a more modern, intuitive experience for clients, donors and supporters alike.
Old Website
New Website
Solution
In 2022, Proteus partnered with Wired Impact to launch a website that works as hard for them as they do for farmworkers.
The Vision design option offers language translation directly within the header, making it easier to navigate the site in Spanish or English.
Our easy, no-code web page editor helps Proteus keep content up-to-date as their programs, events and ways to give evolve.
With 30-minute website task requests, they can rely on Wired Impact for website updates, freeing up time for their team.
Best of all, the new site integrates seamlessly with their preferred fundraising tools to simplify the donation process.
From early integrations with Stripe and Bloomerang to GiveButter, Proteus has been able to refine tools and processes to improve their donors’ experience.
Results
+44% funds raised
In the two years prior to the website launch, Proteus’ annual fundraiser, I’m Thankful for Farmworkers, averaged $60,700 in total funds raised.
This jumped to an average of $87,800 in the two years after launch—a 44% increase compared to the previous period.
And in 2024, they reached a record-breaking milestone, raising over $100,000 at their annual fundraising event.
+1000 beneficiaries
In addition, nearly 1,000 farmworkers have benefited from Proteus’ education assistance and job training program, and more than 2,200 patients have been served in a language other than English since launch.
With a powerful new site that makes it easier for clients and supporters to take action, Proteus is saving time, connecting more deeply with their community and focusing on what they do best: empowering farmworkers and their families.
The Wired Impact team are friendly, helpful, quick to respond, and so knowledgeable! We love working with them!
