The importance of building relationships with your donors is absolutely essential for every nonprofit. Their donations make it possible to do the great work you’re doing. Your donors are your biggest asset and one of your campaign’s most effective marketers. You need a way of managing these precious relationships. And that’s why we’ve introduced a great new feature that you’re going to love: Donation Notes and Donor Notes.
Donation and Donor Notes are quick and handy little snippets of additional info you can add to each donation and donor record. Every donation you receive is important to you. And our new Notes feature will help you manage each donation and donor with a more personal touch.
So what kind of additional info can you add? Well, pretty much any text-based notation. If you have a team of people working with you, you could leave them instructions on how to proceed with specific donations or donors. You could leave a reminder for steps to take later. Or record ideas that you can implement at a more appropriate time. Donation and Donor Notes are for internal use. So, only you and your linked team members will be able to see them. They will be invisible to Donors.
