You’re ready to ramp up your fundraising efforts, but you’re concerned that your donor database isn’t up for the task. Sound familiar?
In reality, you may need to streamline your existing technology and related procedures – and ensure your development team knows how to use your system — to get more efficiency and effectiveness from your fundraising program.
Here’s just one example: Heller Consulting helped Be The Match implement and document new processes, set up reports in their Raiser’s Edge database, and train staff members on how to use the system to help them improve the effectiveness and accuracy of their development program.
Results
Following are some of the results:
- Improved processes — Development staff members spend less time struggling with their processes and technology, and more time focusing on their fundraising efforts.
- Better reporting — More staff members run their own reports to measure the effectiveness of their fundraising efforts, without relying on one database administrator.
- Efficiency and consistency — Documentation and training ensures that new users of the system can be up and running efficiently and consistently.
