A Little Reminder

After such a long hot summer, Autumn seems to be speeding by in the Ozarks.  The trees that only had the slightest hint on color three days ago are now beginning to blaze gloriously.  We’ve had several thunderstorms and lots of badly needed rain.  The air smells fresh and woodsy and I occasionally catch the hint of wood smoke wafting from someone’s lawn while doing their fall cleanup.  A bowl of crisp apples sits on the table and I’ve gathered up acorns and bright fallen leaves so I can have a bit of brightness when Winter comes.

The squirrels are busy too.  They scamper here and there, carrying large walnuts and tiny acorns to hide away for lean times in the winter.  It fascinates me to watch them scurry across power lines as secure and confident as if they were walking on the street.  Our foundling kitten, Mab, watches them too and occasionally makes a dash to try to catch one so bold as to come too near.  Since she is smaller than a squirrel, I think she would quickly discover she’s bitten off more than she could chew should she actually catch one.

 

Judging by the support calls we have been getting, things are speeding up in the non-profit world as well.  It is time to start gathering information and sending out appeal letters.  You may have auditors coming in or it may be time for your annual meeting.  All of this can leave you feeling as though you are little Mab and actually caught that squirrel.  Have you bitten off more than you can chew?

You FundRaiser nonprofit database can help you stay on a more even keel with the Tickles and Sticky Note functions.  These reminders can help you track special things about donors in a way that is more noticeable than the donor notes.  A tickle can be made for a certain donor or for a specific staff member.  It can also be assigned to one person or to everyone.  There is even a Tickle Report that will help you see what has and has not been done.  The Sticky Note function allows you to attach a “Post-it” to a donor’s record that pops up with a message each time the record is clicked on.  At FundRaiser, we believe your Donor Management Software should make your life easier, not more complicated.  Our reminder functions can help get you off that high-wire and back to the comfort of the street.
