Consumers Guide to Low Cost Donor Management Systems
Our friends at Idealware and NTEN have released their Consumers Guide to Low Cost Donor Management Systems. The guide presents detailed comparisons of 33 donor databases that cost less than $4,250 in the first year. It includes a high-level overview of common features, comparisons and summaries of the systems they reviewed, recommendations for which systems might be suited to a variety of nonprofit scenarios, and a directory of consultants who can help you select a database. (Full disclosure -- I contributed to the report and am one of the consultants listed.)
A companion 85-page report provides in-depth reviews of the twelve systems that emerged at the top of their ranking, including details of the functionality offered for each of 127 criteria they considered. The guide is available for free here.
Some of the solutions they reviewed are available discounted our donated for nonprofits and public libraries via TechSoup Stock including: eTapestry, Telosa products, and GiftWorks.
