Building an Online Database

Even in the smallest of development departments, it’s important to build an appropriate system that will allow the development arm of the organization to grow and be manipulated by many people. This means that a database must be user friendly and easily accessible to all relevant staff.

Online databases are ideal for this purpose and often can be very affordable for start-ups and social entrepreneurs. Important information about personal contacts, material distributed and interactions with people that are important to fundraising and strategic development of your organization can be input to a central source by staff and board members around the world.
