At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the members of the Hudson Valley Funders Network came together to find ways to support the region’s nonprofit sector.

To ensure essential programs and services can be preserved and sustained, organizations must have the capacity to adapt strategically in times of significant change. It is with this understanding that the Funders Network, with financial support from MVP Health Care, partnered with NYCON and TechImpact to develop this exclusive new training series for Hudson Valley Nonprofits.

SELECTING A DONOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Date: January 14, 2021
Time: 2:45pm-4:15pm
For most nonprofits, their donor management system is the glue that holds their organization together. Having one means being able to track donors, learn about how they interact with your organization, and take steps to strengthen those relationships.
Unfortunately, many organizations struggle to find the right system. (And no, spreadsheets are not a donor management system!) Whether you’re actively shopping for a new donor management system or considering whether it’s time to change, this course can help you learn about your options, the features, and functionality you need within a budget you can afford.

During this session, you will:
Learn what to consider when evaluating donor management systems.
Think through your organization's needs and the data you want to track.
Review how to evaluate a system so that all of your questions get answered.
Understand the security risks that DMS platforms (and consequently an organization’s donor data) frequently face.
Understand the basics of fundraising databases (aka donor management systems and DMS) and security features that leading DMS platforms provide that may better protect donor data.

This webinar is open to organizations in Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester Counties.

We are grateful for the funding and support provided by our partners, including MVP Health Care, who are dedicated to building a healthier, more vibrant nonprofit sector in the Hudson Valley and beyond.
