Pledge and Campaign tools for churches and ministries simplify the job

Pledges are vital to capital campaign success. The biggest challenge with pledges is keeping track of who pledged what and on what type of payment schedule, and then following up accordingly. When receiving more than a few pledges, the details can quickly become unmanageable without the proper tools. Money and donors can be lost forever when details fall through the cracks. Fortunately, FundRaiser Software has just the tools necessary to follow-up in a professional, timely manner with donors and prevent critical information from slipping through the cracks.

Our Pledge Tracking Features can help with:

• Mapping Out Pledges
• Thank You letters
• Reminder Letters
• Overdue Pledges
• Projection Reports
• Pledge Cards
• Online Donations

Event Giving Lifespan

Donors may respond to your campaign immediately or over a period of time. FundRaiser’s Event Giving Lifespan solves the problem of data entry operators forgetting to record a donation as a response to an event. During the setup of an event in FundRaiser, you simply designate the period of time during which you expect to receive donations (perhaps 30 days before an event to 30 days after). Then when a donation is received from one of the participants during the specified time period, FundRaiser will automatically offer to assign the donation to that event.

Reports:

• Summary reports include gift and pledge totals, response rates, ROI, % of goal raised, average per response, and more on both the Campaign and the Event level.
• Sponsorship Summary and Detail reports show packages purchased, gift and pledge totals, plus sponsorships, tickets, attendance, RSVP, and Reservations.
• Participant Summary and Detail Reports show who gave to which events and the various ways in which they may have participated.
• FundRaiser’s wide range of Standard Reports can also be used to report on event-related participation and donations.
