Effort's Reward

I planted a rare heirloom pea called Golden Sweet in my porch boxes early this spring. It is hard to believe the dull, wrinkled brown seeds would become the lush greenery snow peasclinging and tangling its way ever upward on my front porch. I had just begun to despair of actually getting any peas from the vining jungle when I began to notice the first delicate magenta blooms peaking from ruffled clusters of yellow green leaves. Now tiny yellow pea pods are pushing their way out flowers that have faded to blue and I will soon enjoy them lightly sautéed with butter and garlic.

It is very nice to see my effort bear fruit. There were so many steps required to get here. I spent a good many hours researching heirloom seeds. I chose the Golden Sweet for its lovely flowers and pretty yellow pods. Once I’d made my choice, I had to actually find seeds for that variety, order them, plant them, and care for them. Each step was essential for any kind of success.

Fundraising is very similar to gardening; it often starts with something very small and inconspicuous, but with care and nurturing it can become many times greater than its humble beginnings. Yet the growing of it takes diligent effort and the proper tools.

FundRaiser’s Custom Page is one tool that can help you cultivate your fundraising efforts. This feature allows you to copy nearly anything from any tab in FundRaiser to a single page. With a good Custom Page design, you can see everything about a donor in a single glance. After determining what elements are important to your organization, you can create a page perfectly suited to your needs. Perhaps you are interested in Donor Notes and Gift History. Then again, Volunteer information or Membership status may be more significant to your organization. Any of these features can be put on a Custom Page. Whether your fundraising efforts are a tiny brown acorn or a mighty oak tree, FundRaiser’s Custom Page can help you see the big picture much more easily.

If you have any questions or would like more information on Custom Pages, feel free to call Tech Support at 800-543-4131.
