FundRaising for Performing Arts Organizations

Performing Arts non-profit groups are special to us. Making your fundraising easier is one of our priorities.

Are you a community theatre group with volunteers handling all your work, like Buck Creek Players? (Read their story.) Then you need an intuitive program that's easy to learn and that makes it easy to transfer responsibilities when volunteers change jobs.

Are you a professional theatre group like Peninsula Players (read their story), who needs the full power of a sophisticated donor management program, including the ability to automatically collect donor prospect information from ticket buyers?

Just over a year ago, the Irish Repertory Theatre moved over into FundRaiser Professional. Their impetus was another, bigger move: from renters to owners of their own facility (read their story).

Or maybe you're a hybrid organization that is trying new approaches. Regardless, FundRaiser is focused on your needs. Our software is:

• Intuitive. Users consistently praise us for our easy to learn and easy to use programs.
• Powerful, enabling you to do both simple and challenging fundraising jobs
• Affordable, costing significantly less then comparable programs and with three levels of programs from simple to sophisticated, allowing you to choose the level that's right for you.
• Supportive, with top quality and friendly technical support staff, special web training, developers who listen and implement your suggestions, an online users forum, and monthly newsletters.
• Theater-Friendly, with theater focused features like a special module that enables you to automatically collect donor information from box office software.

Intuitive
Users consistently praise us for our intuitive interface and the ease of learning the software. That's a special find for a program that allows you to do so much. We place a high value on staying that way, even as we add more features. We know that you may not be computer savvy, and that's OK with us. We do everything we can to make it easy for you.

Powerful
FundRaiser is a powerful donor management program that has been serving small and medium size non profits since 1988. During that time, our developers have consistently listened to users and made improvements and additions to the program to make it more flexible and responsive. A power feature developed specifically for performing arts groups who sell tickets is the Tickets module that enables you to convert your ticket buyer list into a donor prospect list.

FundRaiser can be used to make straight forward jobs even easier (like printing labels and sending out thank you notes) or to help you manage the complexities of a capital campaign. If you have special needs like pledge drives or handling premium gifts to reward donors, we have the features to help you manage that.

Affordable
We shine in the area of affordability. Our three software levels range in price from $149 to $1,150 to $3,500. At each level, you get much more than other comparably priced programs. Choose the power you need now at the price that fits your budget. If you need more in the future, it's easy to add optional modules or to upgrade to the next level. The cost of any previously purchased FundRaiser program is deductible from any upgrade. In addition, FundRaiser Select and Professional can be purchased through no-interest monthly payments

Supportive
Users say our technical support staff is excellent and we place a high priority on that. We strive at all times to have the friendliest and most expert tech staff around. When you call tech support, you talk to a real person, and can reach that same person again until your problem is resolved. With a program that's as full featured as FundRaiser you may want some help from time to time to figure out a specific job or unravel a problem.

In addition, our program developers listen to your suggestions. It was a user like you who suggested how much she would like for her box office software to be able to collect names and addresses of ticket buyers to add to her donor base.

You'll love the web-based and phone-based training programs run by our top technician. (He also happens to be a long-time performer.) These training programs can give you an overview of FundRaiser Select or Professional, or let you go into depth on specific topics. Would you like an overview now? You can arrange for a pre-sales Tour through one of our sales reps.

Theatre-Friendly
Theater groups are a priority for us. We want to be your fundraising program. You can count on us to listen to your needs and respond, whether it be for technical support or program development. As a user, if you ever have a suggestion, contact us, by phone or email. We will listen.
