Fundraising Management Software
Fundraising management software that fits your Nonprofit
In today's fundraising climate, it is increasingly important to demonstrate good stewardship of the funds that
you raise and manage. The cost of raising funds, in particular, has rarely been under more public and private scrutiny.
One of the primary investments for any development program is donor management or fundraising management software. This
includes not only the initial purchase price, but also the ongoing costs of necessary maintenance and support to use
the software year to year, which can be a significant annual expense. Like any other asset or annual budget expenditure,
it's important to establish that you are getting the right amount of value from this significant investment.
Software value is frequently diminished because the nonprofit has been oversold or undersold on the fundraising
management software. Specifically, there are three primary areas where software packages often do not fit the
organizations that have invested in them:
- Too many inflated or additional costs that surface after the initial purchase.
- More feature complexity than the organization’s campaigns actually require.
- Too much complexity for the skill level of the organization’s staff.
Nobody knows how important it is to make every dollar count more than nonprofit executives, and consideration for
a software package is no exception. If you have invested in a Fundraising management software product, are you
getting your money’s worth from that investment? If you paid for a full version of the package, is your staff using
all of the features or only a portion of them? Or, do you pay annually to maintain and support Fundraising
management software features that do not fit your organization's needs?
