Find a Donor Database

For many nonprofit staff, the mere mention of the word “database” evokes exasperation and painful memories of list merging and deduping. An organization may use a donor database to track gift history, but data also lives elsewhere in other departments because teams maintain their contact data independently.

The result? Communications lack coordination, data silos are everywhere, and there is no central archive of constituent activity. Valuable time and energy is wasted chasing information and merging lists, rather than performing work that furthers your mission.

By adopting a Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) solution that serves the entire organization — not just one department, you can increase staff efficiency, reduce the challenges of list merging, and start collaborating successfully.

Why Choose a CRM over a Donor Database?
Common Ground includes all the functionality of a traditional donor database while adding on features for all other aspects of your nonprofit organization’s data and communications needs like volunteer and event management. Data silos, duplicative efforts, inefficient processes and multiple systems for constituent data are a thing of the past with the introduction of a single system that allows for true constituent relationship management. Departments from all across your organization can consolidate efforts and collaborate more efficiently in devising acquisition list and target segment strategies.

In short, CRM products like Common Ground reinforce the value of teamwork by being designed specifically to support and promote collaboration of multiple independent team members. Choosing a CRM solution that is designed to meet the needs of your nonprofit will not only help your organization consolidate its data, but will also help co-workers and cross-functional teams work more effectively together. In doing so, the CRM solution will serve as a living archive of institutional knowledge for all constituent interactions. Convio Common Ground™ CRM.
