Hi,

My name is Alice and I just joined Tech Soup.  I've been volunteering for an organization and wanted to get some technical assistance with the project I'm working on.

Hi Alice--

Welcome to TechSoup! What organization are you volunteering with?

You came to the right place--there's a lot of folks here in the community that are very knowledgeable and can help answer any tech questions you have. Please don't hesitate to post them in the forums. As a volunteer, you may also find our Volunteers and Technology forum to be of particular interest.

Look forward to seeing you around the forums!

Best,

Megan

Hi, Alice,

I second Megan's welcome. If you have any questions about where to look for answers to your questions, please let us know.

Best wishes,

Sasha

Thanks for the welcomes Megan and Sasha,

I am volunteering with The Institute For The Development Of Earth Awareness (IDEA).  It's a small, volunteer run organization and they don't have a large enough budget for database development, but they need it in order to successfully manage their mailings and over all donor management.

I've gotten the data about 90% complete, now I'm hitting a brick wall in my own capeabilities to finish it.  If there's anyone out there who has advanced FileMaker pro development and/or programming knowledge who can consult with me for an afternoon or two to finish it up, that would be excellent.

Thanks,

Alice

Hi Alice,

I noticed that you posted a note in the volunteer forum for help with the database development. If you don't get an answer there, and you want to try and work your way through the problem in the do-it-yourself way, you can also post specific questions on how to do what you want to do in the Software forum.

Also, I know that after so much work put  into developing the database you want to finish. If however you continue to hit a brick wall, there are some very inexpensive donor management software programs available that perhaps even IDEA could afford.

Best wishes,

Sasha
