  • r/CRM

Tools they use today

  • Excel

  • Google Workspace

Why those fall short

  • no enforced intake workflow; front desk accepts items without documentation
  • no historical donor info, no calls, meetings or reports
  • CRM cannot join DAF gift records to individual donor contacts in one report
  • reporting dates not on calendar; knowledge lost when one person leaves
  • only lands with some donors; donors still equate low overhead with good organization
