Donor data is crucial for effective fundraising. (Actual photo of us talking about data issues that are widespread for our nonprofit friends.) Managing it can seem daunting, but it's an essential tool that deserves priority and attention. From housing the data to capturing and utilizing it, donor data is a critical component of your fundraising efforts. We’ve said it and you’ve heard it but we’ll continue to stand on tables and scream about: 💡 Have you invested in a Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) database system? (and are you using it to its full potential?) 💡 What donor information are you capturing? 💡 How are you using your donor data? If you think that you could expand on any of these but aren’t quite sure where to start don’t stress (let us do that for you!). 🤝 We love donor data and deep-diving into using it to enhance your fundraising strategy.  #nonprofitfundraising #fundraisingdata

Simple contract management applications and CRM applications fall short when used as the primary tools for #donor relations and #alumni fundraising activities. A continued reliance on manual processes results in errors and causes delays in fundraising cycles. And problems like inaccurate pledge amounts result in poor experiences with donors and an inability to collect those pledges. VisualVault’s Donor Lifecycle Management solution delivers more professional and more efficient interactions with donors. And, our #analytics give you an unprecedented level of visibility into the fundraising process; so you have the insights required to refine and build your donor programs. https://lnkd.in/eYCGm2Am

One of the biggest misconceptions I see fundraisers make: ‘We need a new CRM system’ Why? Most don’t utilize the ones they currently have, what will change with a new one? Most fundraisers don’t input data, contacts, notes or conversations regularly into their platform. And when they do—they often input incorrectly…and there are a lot of good reasons why this happens and easy fixes. But a new CRM won’t be one of them. Finally, a CRM changeover is TIMECONSUMING, COSTLY. And so many times organizations stop the switch over midway and go back to the original. This mixed with often YEARS of internal debate makes this an often non viable source of fundraising ease, and a significant drain on resources!
