Donor data management is the Achilles heel of many charities and we can help! It doesn’t matter how big or how small, whether national or local, the capture and maintenance of quality donor data often appears as a footnote on the fund raising priority list.
Data management is not just a record of donations along with a name and address, nor is it found in abstract notes; it is a strategic approach to managing all aspects of how a donor or funder can interact with a charity; past, present and future.
We understand data and its need to be managed. We evaluate your current situation and put a program< in place to ensure better data capture and better information management, two areas that impact on your ability to fund raise effectively and use your time efficiently.
Planned Giving provides a charity with long term sustainability. A Planned Giving program is more than just a letter or a newsletter note; it’s the presentation that cements the interest when a win – win scenario is presented to the right audience.
