Intuitive & Affordable

FundRaiser Software offers 3 powerful programs designed to fit any budget and any installation requirements

Phase-out Plan for Single and Multi User Licenses

Phase 1:

Announcement of the phase-out. This occurred in August 2012. We announced that we will be phasing-out our single and multi user licenses in favor of either the Client/Server license or FundRaiser Hosted. This was due to increasing limitations of the antiquated licenses; customers were reporting very slow speeds when accessing FundRaiser on their network, and our development team was reporting that these licenses were not functioning properly in certain networking environments or on new Operating Systems. This lead us to shift our customers to the Client/Server license or the Hosted platform, both of which are built on cutting-edge technology allowing for optimal performance.

Phase 2:

In this phase, we will discontinue program updates for single and multi user licenses. Beginning in September 2015 (three full years after we announced the mandatory upgrade), all FundRaiser updates and new features will require the Client/Server license or the Hosted platform. We will also phase-out the sale price of the Client/Server license on October 31st - our vendor has mandated this.

Phase 3 (current phase):

Finally, we will discontinue Support for single and multi user licenses. This phase will begin on August 1st, 2016. After August 2016, we will no longer support the single or multi user licenses for FundRaiser. All customers who wish to retain our Support services must upgrade by then.

How will upgrading to Client/Server benefit you?

FundRaiser will be FASTER.

In the Client/Server version, FundRaiser will still be installed locally, on your machine. What's different is the way you see and access your data from your workstations.

When a user runs the program, it does not open the files directly, as it does in the Multi-User platform. Instead, the server opens the files on behalf of the client (the user at the workstation) and provides whatever data from the files that they need. When the user makes changes, their program sends those changes back to the server, which inserts it into the data files for them. This results in significantly less network traffic, and substantial speed differences.

FundRaiser will be MORE SECURE.

Because the workstation is not actually running the entire program over your network, as it does with Multi-User, the Client/Server version results in significant risk reduction in terms of data corruption. Should you experience a server crash or power failure, for example, it has built-in failsafes that will automatically restore the data back to the last complete transaction. This is not true of the Multi-User version.

Additionally, added security measures can be taken on the server to protect the data against intrusion or theft.

FundRaiser can have automatic ONLINE DONATIONS

With the Client/Server license, you can use our Donor Portal for Online Donations to receive and record online donations automatically! The Donor Portal also gives your donors the option of creating an account so they can log-in in the future and donate again, see past giving history, print receipts, reports, etc. And, coming soon, they will also be able to set up and manage recurring donations!

FundRaiser can be accessed REMOTELY.

If you would like to be able to log-in to FundRaiser from home or while you're traveling, you'll need the Client/Server license. With Client/Server, you will be able to use a remote desktop service and a Virtual Private Network to access FundRaiser from anywhere.

Online, Hosted, or Installed Donor Management Software

FundRaiser is designed to fit your needs perfectly; each of our three software packages include a unique set of features and functions designed to support all of your development goals, and they can each be installed in a variety of environments to fit your deployment and access needs, as well:

   FundRaiser Installed: If you wish to install and maintain the software locally on your own equipment, you can purchase the software license and manage the maintenance and networking with the assistance of our unrivaled Customer Support Team.
   FundRaiser Online: For convenient online access and Mac-compatibility, combined with low start-up costs, the online version is the way to go. Lighten the IT load on your organization with automatic software updates and regularly-scheduled automatic backups.
   FundRaiser Hosted: A hybrid of the installed and online options, the hosted version allows you to purchase the software license and pay FundRaiser a low monthly to host it online for you. You get the best of both worlds: you own the software and can take it back offline at any time, but you get the ease of online access, Mac-compatibility, and reduced IT load on your organization.

Growing with FundRaiser is designed to be easy

We believe that using any of our FundRaiser programs will help you raise more money for your organization and streamline your fundraising efforts. This success may cause growth within your organization, and, as your organization grows and your needs evolve, you will start to need more out of your donor management software.

We believe that your fundraising software should grow with you, so we have designed FundRaiser to do just that.

As you begin to need more functionality from your software, you have a few options:

  • If you need online access, you can upgrade to our Hosted platform easily, while retaining ownership of your software license.
  • If you have FundRaiser Spark, you can upgrade to either FundRaiser Select or FundRaiser Professional with ease; all of your data transfers seamlessly, you receive full credit for your previous purchase, and the interface is familiar so there is a minimal learning curve.
  • If you have FundRaiser Select, you can either add modules to Select to enhance its functionality, or you can upgrade to FundRaiser Professional and experience the same familiar interface that you have become comfortable with, while taking advantage of all of Professional's advanced features.
  • If you have FundRaiser Professional, well, you've already started at the top, but there are still a couple options: you can add users, add the Donor Portal, or even upgrade to the Hosted version. If you keep your maintenance plan current, you'll also receive all the updates and new features for Professional for free!

The growth path has been designed to make the process easy and fast -- all the FundRaiser programs have the same look and feel, so you'll be right at home immediately. Every bit of your data your data converts seamlessly from one program to the next.

Perhaps the best part of moving up within the FundRaiser Family is that you won't lose any money. Our policy is that every penny you've paid toward purchasing the license for any of the FundRaiser programs counts toward the purchase of any of the programs higher up the ladder. In addition, all of our programs come with a 90-day money back satisfaction guarantee.

So, no matter where you start or where you finish, you can't lose with FundRaiser Software.

As powerful as its standard functions are, what truly sets FundRaiser Select apart is the variety of its Optional Modules. It’s like getting custom-designed software at a fraction of the cost!

All optional modules are built into the program, and can be activated at any time - either with your initial purchase, or later as your needs expand.

FundRaiser Select On Your Network

FundRaiser Select has multiple installation options designed to fit your needs exactly; it can be accessed online, or on your own network or personal computer. Select is also available for a single user at a time or up to 1,000 users, and you can always add users as your team grows.

  • Single-User – A single-user license means that Select can be accessed by one user at a time. If you have the online version, you can give access to as many users as you like, but only one may log in at a time. The same is true of the installed version; you can install the software on your server and access it from multiple workstations, one user at a time.
  • Additional Users – If you need more than one person to be able to log in and use Select simultaneously, you can select exactly the number of users you want. For example, you could choose to have three users in either the online or installed version, so three people can use the software concurrently, although you may grant access to more users. Select can be configured for up to 1,000 concurrent users, so you are not likely to run out of user licenses.

Optional Select Modules

  • QuickBooks® Integration  ($500)
    This module enables FundRaiser to "talk" to QuickBooks so that when you enter a donation or pledge in FundRaiser, it is automatically entered into QuickBooks for you. Please note that the ability to import from QuickBooks is a standard import option in both FundRaiser Select and Professional, and does not require the use of this module. The module is needed only to send FundRaiser data to QuickBooks.
  • Pledges  ($300)
    These are for donors who make multi-payment pledges, like $3,000 over 4 years, with $200 payments made each quarter and a final balloon payment of $800 (or as simple as $20/month for a year). You choose which pledgers should receive reminder letters or overdue notices. Reports include a status report, an income projection report, a statistical report, and a campaign (pledge and gift) report.
  • Tributes  ($300)
    This is for organizations who have in-memory-of or in-honor-of gifts. With it, you record not only who gave, but in whose memory or honor it was given, and who the donor should be acknowledged to (often the surviving spouse). It's easy to print those acknowledgment letters, specifying the names (and addresses and amounts, if desired) of the donors. It's also easy to print or create a file containing a listing of honorees and donors in a format suitable for pasting into a newsletter.
  • StarDonor Integration   ($500)
    Offer your donors the convenience of donating on your website anytime they are inspired to do so. This module fully automates the process of accepting and recording online donations.
  • Volunteer Management   ($300)
    Perfect both for volunteer-driven nonprofits and for those with less sophisticated efforts. Track volunteer status and work history. Schedule individuals, groups, or teams based on their skills and availability. Print welcome and work evaluation letters, and generate a variety of reports for efficient management.
  • Memberships  ($300)
    This is for membership-based organizations, especially for those whose expiration dates are scattered throughout the year. It makes it easy to send out renewal letters a month or so before their expiration date. It's also especially easy to print labels for newsletters and other membership mailings. Reports include a status report, a statistical report, and a 4-year comparison report.
  • Wintix Integration  ($500)
    Turn your ticket buyers into donors! This module is for theater groups who sell tickets to their performances. It is an integration package, rather than the actual ticket-sales program itself. It integrates with Wintix and Tixsales from Center Stage Software. The integration software automatically updates in two directions, from FundRaiser to Wintix, and from Wintix to FundRaiser. The module also enables you to view past ticket purchases from within FundRaiser, and includes Wintix data in FundRaiser backups, if desired. You can also run queries (we call them Groupings in FundRaiser) of Wintix data from within FundRaiser, in combination with FundRaiser data (people who bought tickets during the past two years who have not yet donated). (This module does not include the cost of Wintix software. Module works for Wintix versions 3, 4 and 5.)  Click4 Tix and WebTix is NOT Supported currently.
  • Product Sales  ($300)
    This is for those who have a catalog of products to sell. It produces invoices and helpful reports. It handles partial shipments, backorders, and gift orders with ease. It's also easy to combine a product sale with an extra gift - just ask if the purchaser would like to round the amount of the order up to an even number (like $50) - the difference is a tax deductible donation.
  • Premiums  ($300)
    This module is ideal for public radio and TV stations who give premiums in return for donations. It prints shipping labels, keeps track of out-of-stock items, and includes several helpful reports.
  • Phonathon  ($300)
    Perfect for radio stations or organizations that have phonathons or sharathons. Set goals for the day, hour or a specified period and track the gifts that are pledged toward these goals. Displays the totals in a format that is easily read by the on-air talent.

Products Overview

The FundRaiser Family is a collection of three intuitive donor management programs, all of which can be installed locally or hosted for secure online access. Our software offers users the peace of mind that comes with knowing that sensitive donor data is well-protected from potential problems.

All three FundRaiser programs "climb the ladder" of capability and sophistication. You can start at the level that is appropriate for you now, and upgrade later as your organization and needs evolve. Upgrading is easy and economical; your data converts from one program to another in a simple and quick operation and 100% of your previous purchase is applied to the cost of the next program.

FundRaiser Professional (interest-free installment plan available) is our flagship program, and the real workhorse of the Family. It contains dozens of powerful, easy-to-build reports, merge functions, and enhanced Grouping criteria. User-defined fields make the sorting and reporting functionality virtually limitless. Professional boasts powerful features not found in any other FundRaiser program.

FundRaiser Select (interest-free installment plan available) features unlimited coding, extensive data fields, powerful Query flexibility, built in reports, a top-notch word processor, and a multi-user option. Select is designed to grow with your organization by offering the flexibility to build upon its features and functionality with a full suite of expansion modules.

FundRaiser Expansion Modules are included in FundRaiser Professional and are available as optional expansions to FundRaiser Select to customize your application.

Using any of the FundRaiser programs will help you to grow. By increasing the time you have to devote to direct fundraising, it helps you to increase your contributions. As both you and your organization grow, the decision to step up to the more sophisticated features and techniques of the next FundRaiser programs will be a natural progression.

All our programs are guaranteed... if after giving it a good try, you're not happy with a FundRaiser program, send it back for a full refund. We are dedicated to giving you what you need to make your fundraising work easier and smoother.

American Bear Association

When Carolyn Malcolm became Program Coordinator for the American Bear Association, its membership numbers were not increasing. “Our membership numbers were holding fairly steady, but they weren’t increasing like they should have been. New members were replacing ones that didn’t renew. The problem was that we didn’t have a renewal system in place. People didn’t know to renew so we were loosing too many old members,” recalls Carolyn.

The American Bear Association maintains a sanctuary where visitors can observe bears in the wild. Members help support the educational mission of promoting a better understanding of bears. “We have membership levels: $30 for a basic membership, $100 for the next level, and $250 for the top level,” says Carolyn.

The organization was using FundRaiser Basic. Carolyn looked it over and decided they needed something more. “We send out a newsletter four times a year and I couldn’t find a convenient way to keep track of expiration dates in Basic. For that reason, we upgraded to FundRaiser Select,” Carolyn says.

Moving from Basic to Select

The data moved well from Basic to Select. The automatic duplicate record checking in Select helped catch extra records. “There were lots of multiple entries, so having those pointed out has helped. The data was put in interestingly because we have so many people working in the database. I’ve been manually fixing it. Other then that, the move went smoothly.”

Membership is climbing

With FundRaiser Select, the American Bear Association has been able to keep track of membership renewal dates, and send timely reminders. “Now we put expiration stickers on the newsletter when a member’s term is up. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback about that. Memberships have been increasing since we’ve started. Select is working.”

Says Gina Mankus, office manager for the American Bear Association, “For many members, it’s been three years since they signed up. The stickers are getting them back.”

Returning members make up for economic downturn

Increased membership renewals are closing the gap left by impact of the poor economy. “Expiration stickers are making up for the losses brought on by the economy,” says Carolyn. Gina agrees. “We aren’t getting many new members because of the economy, but the renewal stickers have really helped. Now we’re increasing our membership,” says Gina.
