Fat and Sassy

Mab Guards the HouseThe brilliant colors of Fall have moved from the trees to the ground.  Bright confetti of red, orange, and yellow leaves litters the road and yards.  The smell of fallen foliage is rich and brings back childhood memories of jumping into piles of crunchy, newly raked leaves.  The summer complement of flying bugs is gone leaving only a few industrious honeybees to visit the few yellow flowers left on my dying tomato plants. 

We have had our little foundling kitten, Mab, for nearly two months now.  She’s a very different creature than the starved little waif who showed up on our doorstep.  She has become our fat little porch guardian, content to curl up on the step and sleep in the sun or hover just out of reach when we try to pet her.  It’s amazing the difference regular feeding makes.

You FundRaiser database needs regular feeding as well.  Just as putting a huge bowl of food down for Mab once would not have turned her into the sleek kitty she is today, importing your initial data and then never adding to your nonprofit software will not give you the robust database you need to see your organization achieve its goals.  By recording numerous details about your donors, you can tailor fundraising letters to them, track their activity with your database, and calculate reasonable donation requests. 

FundRaiser offers fields, coding options, and note forms to record important facts about your donors, members, or volunteers.  Nearly every field can be seen in a report, chosen in a grouping, or pulled into a letter.  By feeding your fundraising database, you’ll be able to establish a personal relationship with your donors by sending birthday wishes or asking about a younger son’s soccer game.  Feed your FundRaiser database and you will grow your nonprofit organization.

If you have any questions about recording information about your Donors in FundRaiser, please feel free to call Tech Support at 800-543-4131
