- Description and Author Information rccDONOR, Version 1.7
-
-
- Long Description:
-
- rccDONOR is a full featured donor tracking program that's easy to use
- and grows with your organization. It tracks data on up to 65,000
- people an organizations and generates reports to help you plan and
- evaluate your fund development strategy and efforts. rccDONOR combines
- a mailing list manager, donor tracking system, fundraising event and
- donation tracking - all in one program designed to meet the demands of
- professional fundraisers.
-
- rccDONOR was developed and tested with small to medium sized non-
- profit organizations, specifically a rape crisis center in California
- (that's where the name came from) and a battered women's shelter in
- Pennsylvania. Both groups were new to computerization. Traditional
- donation tracking systems were priced too far out of their operating
- budget and seemed to be aimed at much larger organizations. rccDONOR
- is meant to provide the power of a donation tracking system at a price
- which a struggling nonprofit can afford, and it is marketed by the
- shareware method so that an agency can 'try before buy'.

-
- Quotes from Users:
-
- "rccDONOR gave us the information our board and
- volunteers needed to increase our fundraising by 42%"
-
- Nancy Weiss, Executive Director
- Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center
-
-
- "Due to public fund cutbacks, our agency had to
- increase our fundraising income by over 50%. We knew
- donor tracking was critical to our plans, but couldn't
- afford any of the expensive packages on the market.
- Then we found rccDONOR. It gives us the critical
- information we need for tracking donors and events.
- rccDONOR enabled us to reach our goal."
-
- Barbara Weber, Executive Director
- A Woman's Place
- (Battered women's shelter in Pennsylvania)
-
- I've been working with non-profits for 15 years and
- haven't come across a program for under $2,000 that
- comes close to rccDONOR in terms of features, power,
- and flexibility. And the manual, on-screen help, and
- drop down menus make it easy to learn and use. I
- recommend it to all my clients - rccDONOR is the best
- $100 investment a fundraiser can make."

-
- Irwin Computer Engineering is a small company owned and operated by
- Alan Irwin. We have been writing software and designing electronic
- systems since 1985. Our focus is to provide appropriate automation
- tools for business and industry.
-
- rccDONOR was originally developed at the request of a rape crisis
- center in California and a battered women's shelter in Pennsylvania -
- two outstanding programs with limited financial resources. There are
- hundreds and thousands of non-profit organizations doing vital work
- that benefits us all, directly or indirectly. They not only provide
- crucial services, they must meet the added demands of fundraising - a
- field that has become very competitive, sophisticated, and ironically,
- expensive. These groups deserve our support. Creating rccDONOR and
- making it affordable to small and medium sized non-profits is one way
- we at Irwin Computer Engineering can lend a broad base of support to
- the people and organizations who support us and our community every
- day. We are confident rccDONOR can help your organization and in turn,
- your community.
