"Keys to Selecting the Best Fit in Fund-Raising Software" Brought to you by Sage
The key to a successful Fund-Raising Software purchase is to know your organization. A thorough investigation will go a long way to arming you with the right questions and tools to find the best solution. A full understanding of all the costs involved to have a useable Fund-Raising Software solution will help you avoid nasty cost surprises you may get by only reviewing software program list prices.
Begin the evaluation with a close look at the company providing the solutions offered in your appropriate functionality and price range. While new technologies often sound the most cutting edge and exciting, you want to ensure that the company will be there for you after the software is purchased and installed. Consider the stability of the provider, and its experience in the nonprofit sector. Be sure to find out the following:
- How long have they worked with nonprofits?
- How many organizations have purchased and installed the software?
- Do they offer any service or satisfaction guarantees?
- Do they support customers on prior platforms?
Selecting the best Fund-Raising Software for your organization takes some time and effort, but the rewards are great. A smoother fundraising program can improve not only an organization's administrative efficiency, but literally increase revenues and improve the public perception of the organization itself. If you treat the purchase of new fundraising software as a long-term investment rather than an expense and follow the process outlined in our booklet, you will select a system that has the capabilities you need, and a software company that will be a long-term partner in your success.
