I am not sure I have ever encountered a nonprofit that really fully utilized its fundraising software to capacity.
The ability to process gifts, enter demographic and access other vital information (visit reports, etc.) is vital to the success of any sophisticated development operation. In fact, the move to professional software or the need to upgrade often marks either reaching a level of fundraising success or having the internal commitment to reach new heights.
Looking for Jeff? You'll find him either on the lake, laughing with good friends, or helping nonprofits develop to their full potential.
Jeff believes that successful fundraising is built on a bedrock of relevant, consistent messaging; sound practices; the nurturing of relationships; and impeccable stewardship. And that organizations that adhere to those standards serve as beacons to others that aspire to them. The Bedrocks & Beacons blog will provide strategic information to help nonprofits be both.
Jeff has more than 25 years of nonprofit leadership experience and is a member of the NonProfit PRO Editorial Advisory Board.
