show moreAndrew and Rhen kick off their discussion on donor databases with an explanation of why organizations need to invest in a fundraising database instead of relying on spreadsheets of donor info. From there, they share tips about what to look for when purchasing donor databases.
Specifically, Andrew answers the following questions:
- What types of reports do you want your fundraising database to be able to give you?
- What other things should look for when searching for a new database?
- When setting up your database, what specialty fields might you want to add? Is there any data we shouldn't include in the database?
- How much time does your organization need to allocate for database maintenance?
- What's the process for moving from one database to another?
(And, a laugh for your day: Q: Where do dads store dad jokes? A: In a dada-base!)
