After 25 years working in
non-profit agencies, I have seen my share of contact management
and fundraising software. During my last Executive Director
position, our agency began looking for software to suit the
diverse needs of a smaller organization. We had spreadsheets
everywhere, and our very limited staff spent countless hours
entering data. During our search, we found many very good “off
the shelf products” to meet some of our needs, but not all of
them. The software packages we did find that met all of our
needs far exceeded our budget. We concluded that in order to get
the software package we needed at a price we could afford; we
had to develop our own. We partnered with a local software
developer and designed Total Community Manager (TCM).
Total Community Manager is an extremely easy-to-use relationship
and donor management system that includes flexible modules to
allow you to manage your entire community of contacts and your
agency’s unique activities. You can track your donors,
volunteers, committee members, membership, event participants
across your organization’s activities. And with TCM’s Report
Builder, you have complete flexibility to create the custom
reports suited to your agency needs. We built TCM with capacity
to track your contacts using a simple interface, and give you
easy and immediate access to your most valuable data, which I
know from my experience, is critical to your decision making.
After I left my agency, I went into private consulting (www.davidunger.net),
purchased TCM and began offering the software as part of my
fundraising practice. I wanted others to benefit from the
program that I found so successful, so I compiled a marketing
and sales team which enabled me to offer the program to
nonprofits across the country.
IC Solutions,
the development group who built TCM is still working with us.
Together, we continually revise and upgrade our program to meet
the changing needs of our nonprofit clients.
I have seen the benefits of TCM not just for the agency I
managed, but within the organizations to which I consult, and
hear from others who have purchased TCM. TCM has helped all
sized nonprofit organizations manage their data and increase
their fundraising revenue.
From the day we decided to develop our own software to today,
our goal has remained the same: to create a sophisticated,
effective and versatile software program that helps nonprofit
professionals manage their data and optimize their funding
potential within a price range that suits even the smallest
budgets. Every nonprofit in today’s challenging economy has to
optimize its fundraising efforts both through best practices and
the availability of the best donor management software.
I invite you to take a couple of minutes to
download TCM and try
it out for yourself. See how switching to TCM will have
immediate benefits
to your organization.
Sincerely,
David Unger
