A nonprofit we work with runs a welcoming home for families with children in the hospital. Staying connected is everything for them. They send thank you cards to volunteers, letters to donors, and outreach mailers to families who may need their support.
The Problem
But their mailing lists came from many different places: hospital referrals, online sign ups, and old event spreadsheets. Each source had its own mistakes like missing house numbers, ZIP codes that did not match, typos, or street names spelled in different ways. All of this left them with a messy, unreliable address list.
Why It Was a Big Deal
- Returned mail wasted money
- Families missed important updates when they needed them most
- Staff lost valuable time that could have been spent helping people
What They Tried First
- Fixing addresses one by one but that took forever
- Mailing software that was too expensive and confusing
- Outsourcing cleanup that did not fit their budget
In the end, none of these really solved their problem.
The Simple Fix
That is when they found the Excel Address Validator. The tool works right inside Excel, the program the team already used every day. There was nothing new to learn and no complicated setup.
- Checks addresses against Google Maps and USPS for accuracy
- Cleans up long lists in one click
- Saves hours of manual work
- One time purchase with no extra fees
How It Works
1. Paste the addresses into Excel
2. Click Run
3. See complete, standardized addresses with house number, street, city, state, and ZIP
The Difference It Made
✅ Donor letters now arrive instead of being returned
✅ Thank you cards reach volunteers on time
✅ Families get outreach mailers without delay
✅ Staff spend minutes instead of hours cleaning lists
For the team, the relief was huge. What once felt like an endless chore now takes just a few minutes.
