I strongly recommend folks review this article instead, which has much more up to date information: http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/databases/page11928.cfm

Donor Tools should really be on the list. I think it is easy, affordable, online donor management software for non-profits. You can see the website www.donortools.com is their website. I started using it for a small non-profit ( www.napagradnite.com) that I sit on the board of. It does everything our little nonprofit needs.

If you're looking at fundraising packages, you should definitely take a look at CiviCRM:

http://civicrm.org/

CiviCRM is an open source and freely downloadable constituent relationship management solution. CiviCRM is web-based, open source, internationalized, and designed specifically to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups. Integration with both Drupal and Joomla! content management systems gives you the tools to connect, communicate and activate your supporters and constituents.

Can I ask if you ended up paying as much as your earlier post suggested it would cost? How much was the actual installation and training cost of your free subscription to salesforce? I am in the midst of budget prep and need to know if we can put it in the budget for next year!

Thanks,

www.fundraisersoftware.com Excellent company, software is easy to use and is reasonably priced. Go to their website and request a trial cd. You will find the ease of use as well as a variety of reports you can generate.

GiftWorks impressions needed

We are thinking about buying Giftworks for our office, two licenses at $800 plus total--a significant investment. Does anyone have any experience with this software program they would be willing to share?

We're looking for positive, negatives, anything that would help us decide. We're a small organization, 3 employees total, and resources are therefore stretched thin. We need something that is easy to learn but also, most important, helpful and provides detailed information quickly and easily.

We have been using Pledgemaker (Softrek) for many years, and I know there are other similar Performing Arts based non-profits that use it as well. We are currently re-evaluating, and I was hoping to see it on your list. Nevertheless, I will use your list as additional input to help with our evaluation.

I've used FundraiserSoftware for several years. I have nothing negative to say about it. It's the most user-friendly software I've ever used. Also, the tech support is fantastic. Questions are answered immediately. The training is excellent. The ability to print specific donor reports is remarkable. Creating groupings is a valuable asset. I researched a lot of donor data base software prior to purchasing FundraiserSoftware. I found it to be the most user-friendly and least expensive. Don't let the fact that it is reasonably priced make you think it's deficient in areas. That is not the case at all. The folks at FundraiserSoftware are quite cognizant of that many of us not for profits are not "name brand agencies" and don't have access to the pricier software. With that in mind, they've kept the price reasonable and didn't skimp on what was needed for us to be able to produce specific reports, mailing lists, etc. Great software!

Hi all.

I'm very new to TechSoup, so pardon if I ask something that has already been discussed.

I went through the donor database software comparison, and realized that sometimes more you know, harder it becomes :smile;

I wanted to see if anybody has any experience with FundRaiser Software http://www.fundraisersoftware.com/index.php

I browsed their web site, and I'm getting a trial cd along with the brochure, but still... I always like to hear it from users.

Thanks!

P.S. Administrators, if you think this message doesn't belong here, you're welcome to move it elsewhere.

You might also update the Salesforce.com entry.

"Will be included in nonprofit template in November, 2006."
