Note on donor record keeping

Donors are the lifeblood of nonprofit organizations. Keeping accurate records of donor information and gifts is vitally important to the continuing success of fundraising efforts.  If you are using donor management software (e.g. DonorPerfect, Blackbaud) the program will do much of this work for you. Unfortunately, such programs are expensive. A viable option is to set up a database program using, for example, Microsoft Access.
