Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology
As part of the Nonprofit Blog Exchange Virtual Event, I’m exploring Michelle Murrain’s blog Zen and the art of Nonprofit Technology. It’s not for technophobes and makes me think how little the organizations I work are truly engaged in new technology and all the opportunities it can bring.
I especially like her rant about the lack of solutions for nonprofits who need to manage data for more uses than just fundraising. There are lots of donor databases out there but many organizations have to run parallel databases and applications for other types of constituents and forms of engagement — causing headaches and duplication.
On the topic of choosing a donor database, NPower has a new resource — Getting the Most from Your Decision: Four Steps to Selecting Donor Management Software. There are a few tables toward the end which rate common software packages on budget, ease of use, customization and features.
