Learn More!Donor database software provides nonprofit organizations with the ability to track every important piece of information about their donors, and also about volunteers and other supporters. This information is critical for today's nonprofits that need to communicate effectively across multiple channels - often with limited resources.
Is your fundraising event moving online? We have been talking to our clients, nonprofit consultants, and doing a little brainstorming with our Salsa nonprofit experts. The most popular suggestions and ideas are listed below, along with some data on what other nonprofit organizations are doing.
Donor Management Software provides organizations with a system to track information about not only their donors, but all of their supporters including volunteers, advocates, event attendees, and board members. Donor Management Software is also known as Nonprofit CRM or Constituent Relationship Management software, and is used to manage supporter data and record of interactions with each supporter. Choosing the right Donor Management solution for your organization requires a thoughtful and thorough approach.
Today's CRM systems are much more than the original "Customer Relationship Management," systems that tracked customer names and addresses, and little else. Today's CRM systems are complex platforms that track every aspect of a company's client relationships and activity.

We sat down recently with Joyce LeBombard, the President of the League of Women Voters Austin Area, to talk about the process her organization went through to select a software system.

If your nonprofit has conducted research about CRM software, you've probably come across Salesforce. Salesforce is a popular CRM for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
In nonprofit organizations, communication is key to ensuring your fundraising goals are met, and that your events go off without a hitch. As an Executive Director, you have to make sure everyone is on the same page, that roadblocks or challenges are identified as soon as possible, and that last-minute surprises are kept to a minimum.

Many nonprofits plan for year-end fundraising months in advance, and with the season quickly approaching, it’s time to make sure your organization’s strategy is perfected.
Like many nonprofits, there’s a lot of effort that goes into the mission of the organization. You and your team spend months planning and organizing events, and coming up with creative ways to cultivate and retain donors. Not to mention working on your corporate gift programs, grant writing, and building relationships with community partners. Nonprofit work can be fulfilling, yet tiresome, sacrificial and emotionally draining.
