nonprofit donor management software

We know that managing a nonprofit is not a cake walk. You already have a lot on your plate. From growing your network to delivering the goals you have set, there isn’t any lack of responsibilities. But what could have caught you in a storm of worry is managing all the data – from the information of donors to the tally of funds raised. Here is the best thing you can get to manage and handle all your data needs – GiveCentral Community, our donor management software for growing nonprofits.

What it a donor management software and why do need it?

We know that you rely on spreadsheets or Excel files for your data requirements. Not only that, you feed all the information of your donors and supporters into the spreadsheet, manually. Because of which consolidating and analysing funds raised at the end of the month or year is an enormous piece of business. And if you have to create special reports on top of that – for example, analysing your repeat donors or effectiveness of a fundraising communication tool, that becomes another tedious task you have no time for.

In such cases, you need a better resources to organize your work and teams. A donor management software is a software that organizes and analyses information of your donors and funds. It has built in capabilities to also perform as a communication, mobile giving or a livestreaming tool.

The software functions to collect the data of your donors and the gifts received efficiently and arrange it into forms or tables. You can track the entire giving history of each donor or household and retrieve the information you require on a click of a button. This tremendously cuts down the manual work at your end so that you can focus on growing your network.

What are the features of the GiveCentral Community?

It isn’t uncommon for a nonprofit to create a strategic plan, set it in motion, and then file it away for a year or more. We will show you the benefits of a donor management software. How technology can be used to link a your short-term goals with its long-term plans. 

Using GiveCentral Community, you can:

Consolidate Information: The software starts to gathers information of donors when they register. Data is updated as they interact with your fundraising campaigns. Likewise, you can retrieve and sort this information as per your need.

Comprehensive reporting: Creating reports is the most tedious task. You have reports for just about everything. How much funds are raised on a monthly and yearly basis, the overview of the collections, or average donations. All these reports are pre-setup on your dashboard. And you can also create custom reports very easily. We have resources and live support throughout the process to help you get the information you need. 

Integrated Communication: Effective communication with your supporters, donors and community is so important for growing your network. There are many content formats like the newsletter, email and text messages that can help you stand out. When you know the personal preferences of your donors you can time you asks or even make a bigger ask. The possibilities are endless. 

Once the nonprofits understand where they stand and how they are perceived by people inside and outside the organization, they can begin to plan for the future.
