Donor Tracking And Fundraising For Nonprofits
DonorQuest is designed to meet the donor tracking and fundraising needs of nonprofit organizations. Besides acting as a complete donor and prospect mail list manager, DonorQuest is able to maintain all the extended information you need about current and potential contributors. DonorQuest comes with many useful reports and ways to segment your donors and prospects based on patterns of giving, location, and affiliation.
Detailed Donor Records, Extensive Outreach
With the tools to both capture and effectively act on extensive donor information, DonorQuest can optimize your outreach efforts with tightly targeted campaigns, donation acknowledgements, and direct personal contact management between your donors and the staff within your organization using DonorQuest. For example, you may reach out to donors who have lapsed, current donors, top givers, radius centered on a specific zip code, etc. There is also a comprehensive donor contact management and grant tracking facility with date-based reminders for when to reach out to specific donors based as part of ongoing conversations.
Cloud-Based Or In-House - Your Choice
Beyond these critical features, DonorQuest is capable of running on a multi-user in-house network, or it may be completely cloud-based. This will allow multiple users to perform data entry and reporting operations simultaneously. You could have many users entering donations, running reports, etc., all at the same time. Whether you are running DonorQuest strictly in-house with your own file server, or using our cloud service, the interface and features are the same. So this User's Guide applies to both, and anything you learn in one will still directly apply if your organization eventually switches to the other. For example you might start with the in-house solution and eventually transition to the cloud service (or vice versa). DonorQuest may even be run as a traditional desktop application on a single computer as a very inexpensive solution for smaller organizations, requiring neither an in-house network and file server, nor an Internet connection. Again, all these product variations are offered with the same user interface, so anything you learn in one directly applies to the others.
User-Specific Rights And Security
Whether or not you're running on a local network or in the cloud, DonorQuest offers optional password security. If you choose to use this feature, then one or more people in your organization will be responsible for maintaining user accounts for DonorQuest. When a user starts DonorQuest, he or she will be asked to enter their user name and password. If DonorQuest does not know the person trying to access the database, he/she will not be allowed access. Once in DonorQuest, each user will be limited in the level of access they will have to sensitive data, depending on how their user account was set up.
Customizable And Expandable
With the ability to create custom reports, exports, forms, and data fields, DonorQuest may also be expanded to accommodate many specific needs your organization may have that are beyond the original design of DonorQuest. For example, the biographical records can be expanded to include information about extended family members, table seating at special events, additional data from 3rd-party vendors, etc.
