Event Description

Are you struggling with multiple databases, filled with duplicative and/or conflicting records? Are your accounting staff and fund raising staff locked in unending conflict about the accuracy of information on contributions and pledges. Are you unclear whether your software or the way you are using it is the most important problem?

TACS' new workshop series, Donor Management Software, may be exactly the help you need to evaluate your choices. TACS NPower Oregon Director Shawn Michael has been helping nonprofit managers make difficult decisions about database software for over 15 years. Join Shawn for a step by step approach to evaluating your nonprofit's current and emerging needs to store, sort, and analyze information about donors and prospects and track and analyze the results of multiple fund raising campaigns.

This workshop will also give you the opportunity to examine several of the most popular donor management products with Shawn's guidance and a commitment from vendors to avoid heavy-handed sales tactics. You'll be able to see how the products actually work without committing to boring (and misleading) sales presentations.

Donor Management Software is designed to facilitate communication between executive directors, fund development professionals, fiscal managers, and IT support staff who will be asked to maintain whatever your nonprofit decides to purchase. Learn how your team can help each other define your most important data management needs and avoid the most common errors of overbuying and underestimating the cost of training and implementation of new products.
