DONOR MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Continued from page 17 Combining expertise in strategic Direct Marketing with state-of-the-art Manufacturing and Processing capabilities to deliver a complete approach to all your Direct Response Fund Raising programs. : : : Strategic Planning Creative: Copy writing & Graphic Design : : Donor profiling & Prospect Research : Data Base Management : List Rentals : Data Processing Print Production Premiums : Programming : Laser Personalization & Print-on-demand : Mail Processing : Acknowledgement & Fulfillment : Analytics such as online donations, address verification, ZIP code lookups and more. It’s particularly important to estimate how much you expect your donor base to grow over time when selecting one of these packages, as they can get considerably more expensive than other solutions for organizations with a big donor list. As a more traditional route, there are a variety of systems that are installed on your organization’s server or an individual’s desktop. These systems require someone with basic technical know-how to get them installed, create backups of the data over time, and install updates as required. Instead of “renting” a hosted online database, your organization owns an installed database – which involves a bigger investment up front, but often reduces the cost over the lifetime of the system. These systems are typically priced by user (sometimes called seats) rather than the number of donor records, making the pricing friendlier as an organization grows. With an installed system, your organization also has physical possession of the data, which can be important to organizations who have controversial missions and, particularly, those that need to be concerned about subpoenas. These solutions have more expansive donor profiling, reporting and analysis that begin to support the needs of experienced fundraising professionals. They require more time and resources to implement, learn, and support but can in return offer a greater depth and breadth of capabilities. How do you choose? The only way is by understanding your own needs, and comparing them to the available tools. On the one hand, don’t assume that a more powerful system will work better for you. An overcomplicated system will just be harder for your staff to use. It’s a waste of your time and money if you don’t need advanced features. On the other, it’s important to invest the money to buy a system that will effectively support your processes. After all, a system that improves the effectiveness of your fundraising might pay for itself in the long run -- and it can certainly help to reduce your nightmares about preparing for this year’s annual appeal.
