Sandra: One of the things I’m most proud of is helping develop Qgiv’s original peer-to-peer fundraising system. When I came on board, our peer-to-peer system didn’t exist. It’s wonderful to hear industry thought leaders and peers comment on the useful resources and programs Qgiv provides. It was my first big project.

Nonprofits have become intimately familiar with Content Management Systems (CMS). Some, especially those that are very content/document heavy, have become familiar with Document Management Systems (DMS). What they might not be so familiar with are Learning Management Systems (LMS). Learning platforms, of course, are varied.

67% of nonprofits use a constituent relationship management system (CRM) to track donations and manage supporter communications. Often, they had to pay a consultant to help them set up their database and teach them how to use it. They sought a more expansive, easy-to-use system to manage donor data and grow supporter relationships.

Of course, all nonprofits already have a CRM (even if it is a spreadsheet) – the issue is, generally, migration to a new system, or integration with what they already have to add new features. In the process of going deep into those CRMs, I’ve been thinking about how nonprofits might choose CRMs to begin with.
