Optional Add-on Modules
Add optional modules to make FundRaiser Select exactly the program you need. You purchase them up front or add them on any time. The modules include:- Pledges Management: These are for donors who make multi-payment pledges, like $600 over 12 months, with $50 payments made each month (or far more complex payment schedules, if desired). You choose which pledgers should receive reminder letters or overdue notices. Learn More
- Tributes Management: This is for organizations who have in-memory-of or in-honor-of gifts. With it, you record not only who gave, but in whose memory or honor it was given, and who the donor should be acknowledged to (often the surviving spouse). Learn More
- Volunteer Management: Perfect both for volunteer-driven nonprofits and for those with less sophisticated efforts. Track volunteer status and work history. Schedule individuals, groups, or teams based on their skills and availability. Print welcome and work evaluation letters, and generate a variety of reports for efficient management. Learn More
- Membership Management: This is for membership-based organizations, especially for those whose expiration dates are scattered throughout the year. It makes it easy to send out renewal letters a month or so before their expiration date. Learn More
- Premiums Management: This module is ideal for public radio and TV stations who give premiums in return for donations. It prints shipping labels, keeps track of out-of-stock items, and includes several helpful reports. Learn More
- Phonathon: Perfect for radio stations or organizations that have phonathons or sharathons. Set goals for the day, hour or a specified period and track the gifts that are pledged toward these goals. Displays the totals in a format that is easily read by the on-air talent. Learn More
- QuickBooks® Integration: This module enables FundRaiser to "talk" to QuickBooks so that when you enter a donation or pledge in FundRaiser, it is automatically entered into QuickBooks for you. Please note QuickBooks Integration is only available for locally-installed versions, not for Online or Hosted versions. Learn More
- Wintix Integration Turn your ticket buyers into donors! This module is for theater groups who sell tickets to their performances. It is an integration package, rather than the actual ticket-sales program itself. It integrates with Wintix and Tixsales from Center Stage Software. Learn More
- Product Sales: This is for those who have a catalog of products to sell. It produces invoices and helpful reports. It is also easy to combine a product sale with an extra gift - just ask if the purchaser would like to round the amount of the order up to an even number (like $50) - the difference is a tax deductible donation.

Select Options
As powerful as its standard functions are, what truly sets FundRaiser Select apart is the variety of its Optional Modules. It’s like getting custom-designed software at a fraction of the cost!
All optional modules are built into the program, and can be activated at any time - either with your initial purchase, or later as your needs expand.
FundRaiser Select On Your Network
FundRaiser Select has multiple installation options designed to fit your needs exactly; it can be accessed online, or on your own network or personal computer. Select is also available for a single user at a time or up to 1,000 users, and you can always add users as your team grows.
- Single-User – A single-user license means that Select can be accessed by one user at a time. If you have the online version, you can give access to as many users as you like, but only one may log in at a time. The same is true of the installed version; you can install the software on your server and access it from multiple workstations, one user at a time.
- Additional Users – If you need more than one person to be able to log in and use Select simultaneously, you can select exactly the number of users you want. For example, you could choose to have three users in either the online or installed version, so three people can use the software concurrently, although you may grant access to more users. Select can be configured for up to 1,000 concurrent users, so you are not likely to run out of user licenses.
