At Midwest Studies Group we get a number of questions all the time, and we try to post them on here once in awhile so that we can help as many people as possible.

The question we are sharing with you this time is, what software should we use to keep track of our donors?

This is tricky because there are so many options out there AND every nonprofit person we run into has a different thing they are looking for. So to give you ONE suggesting or even a list of top suggestions, would be subjective at best.

What we would like to do is share a list with you from Center for Major Gifts. Although the list is a little old, it does a great job at naming off the big players, and giving a short description to each . . . saving you a lot of time doing this all yourself.

The realm of software options is vast, but finding the best fit for your needs is a journey worth taking. As you navigate through the myriad choices, consider your specific requirements, budget constraints, and long-term goals. Remember, the best software is not always the most popular one; it's the one that aligns seamlessly with your unique workflow. Embrace the process of discovery, stay informed about updates and innovations, and empower yourself to make informed decisions that will elevate your efficiency and productivity.
