With Klipfolio Klips, the team aggregated key metrics into a single, continuously updating interface, saving time, improving visibility, and streamlining reporting across core functions.
Healthcare
Unified Reporting
Choosing Klipfolio Klips as a KPI monitoring solution comes with clear benefits: it unifies disparate data in one place, provides insights in real time, and speeds up report and presentation prep. For Stupid Cancer, Klips was an ideal fit not just because of its capabilities and ease of use, but also because it delivered strong value within a nonprofit budget. The team used Klips to build dashboards that supported multiple parts of the organization.
Introducing Stupid Cancer
Stupid Cancer is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and empowering young adults affected by cancer. Founded in 2007 by survivor Matthew Zachary, the organization was created to address a critical gap in resources for patients aged 15 to 35, a group often overlooked by traditional programs.
Today, the organization fills this essential niche by providing one of the largest peer support networks for young cancer survivors. Programs range from local meetups and online forums to social media communities and a digital radio show, all designed to help young adults feel less alone during and after treatment.
Stupid Cancer’s impact has been recognized publicly. Its co-founder and Director of Social Media, eCommerce, and Supply Chain, Kenny Kane, received the YNPN New York City Nonprofiteer of the Year title in 2013.
As the organization grew, so did operational complexity. Stupid Cancer was juggling disconnected data across social channels, sales platforms, and a small but important supply chain. With information scattered across multiple sources, Kenny and the team decided it was time to move to a centralized system that could unify their data.
An easy, affordable, accessible reporting solution
Like many nonprofits, Stupid Cancer needed a reporting tool that was powerful yet budget-friendly. After exploring options, they found Klipfolio’s real-time dashboard solution, Klips, through a recommendation from a friend. It proved to be a great match: easy to use, feature-rich, and priced within reach.
Because Kenny had experience working with XML and web-accessible data sources, getting started with Klips was simple. He built dashboards quickly and took full advantage of the platform’s capabilities.
The team also appreciated Klipfolio’s personable support. A dedicated specialist provided one-on-one guidance, answered platform questions, and helped with initial setup.
