Building deeper, more personal connections to advance girls’ education worldwide
Malala Fund is working toward a world where every girl can learn and choose her own future. With millions of girls still out of school, the organization’s mission depends on a global network of supporters who believe in and contribute to that vision.
As that community expanded, so did the complexity of engaging supporters in meaningful, consistent ways.
Disconnected systems made it difficult to understand how supporters interacted across touchpoints. Data lived in silos, limiting visibility and making it harder to deliver relevant, timely communication. Teams often had to spend valuable time navigating systems instead of focusing on engagement.
Creating a More Connected Engagement Strategy
To address these challenges, Malala Fund partnered with Cloud for Good to implement Salesforce Marketing Cloud Growth and create a more unified approach to supporter engagement.
The goal was to bring data, communications, and engagement strategies into one connected system that could scale with the organization’s growth.
Cloud for Good worked closely with the Malala Fund team to:
- Centralize marketing operations within Salesforce
- Connect supporter data into a unified view
- Establish structured audience segmentation
- Introduce an email sign-up campaign flow to welcome new supporters
- Build a scalable foundation for future engagement
This shift allowed Malala Fund to move from fragmented processes to a more coordinated and intentional engagement strategy.
“This project is really pivotal in ensuring that we can see how people interact with us and build more curated, tailored relationships with our supporters.”

Enabling a More Strategic Way of Working
With a unified system in place, Malala Fund now has greater visibility into supporter behavior and engagement patterns.
Instead of piecing together data from multiple systems, the team can access a clearer, more complete picture of how supporters engage with their work. This has made it easier to plan communications, prioritize outreach, and build stronger connections.
Operational complexity has also been reduced, allowing the team to focus more on strategy and less on manual coordination.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Understanding
Beyond the technology, the collaboration between the Malala Fund and Cloud for Good played a key role in the project’s success.
From the outset, Cloud for Good focused on understanding the Malala Fund’s mission and translating that into a practical solution aligned with their goals.
“I would say you guys have been amazing from the very beginning. You really understood our mission and how technology plays a role in addressing our challenges.”
Jennifer Pierre, Senior Digital Fundraising Manager, Malala Fund
This alignment helped ensure that the solution was not only functional but also meaningful in the context of the organization’s work.
Sarah Albright reflected on the partnership simply:
“Dream partners.”

Delivering More Personalized Supporter Experiences
With improved segmentation and a unified data foundation, Malala Fund is now better positioned to deliver more relevant and personalized communications.
Supporters can engage with content that reflects their interests, preferences, and history with the organization. This creates a more meaningful connection and strengthens long-term relationships.
“This is a great foundation for us to continue building more personalized journeys and deepen how we connect with supporters globally.”
