Sensible Donor Management
Donor Management Software
For use with QuickBooks®
Effective Fundraising
A key part of fundraising is valuing and understanding supporters. While growing a contributor base is important, current donors are the financial foundation of the organization. Simple things like reminders for membership expiration and informative newsletter communications help keep donors engaged and committed to the organization.
Volunteers are also a key part of any organization. Not only do they provide no cost labor but they are important contributors, organization advocates, and recruiters for new members.
Donors, volunteers, and prospects are all important constituents of your organization. Accurately tracking contact information for these parties is vital. Some of them may have seasonal addresses which need to be noted when doing mailings. As contact data grows, duplicates are inevitable. Having good tools to find and merge these duplicates is paramount. It also is helpful to track employment and family relationships to further understand your donors.
Soft Donation Accounting
A soft donation refers to a donation given in the name of someone else. The most common example is when an employer gives a matching donation in the name of an employee. Many organizations choose to treat the donation as though it came from both parties – each is given donation credit. Recording both donations and keeping the books in balance presents an accounting challenge.
We recommend you set up offsetting accounts that allows DonorsFix to attribute donations to both parties while keeping your accounts in balance.
QuickBooks Donor Management & Fundraising
Smaller organizations often choose QuickBooks as their accounting software, and, while it will account for donations, it does not handle memberships, events, volunteers, and other aspects of donor management. As a result, organizations will choose to add a donor management package. These packages are often expensive and duplicate the accounting functions of QuickBooks.
DonorsFix takes a different approach. Rather than duplicating what is already in QuickBooks, DonorsFix adds key functions and data to make QuickBooks a practical solution for donor management.
