Administration & Systems
You may have the best motivated, most skilful and highly trained team members working with your donors, but if they do not have first class support from your fundraising office, donors will become disillusioned and divert their support to ‘competitor’ organisations.
‘Back-office’ functions within the fundraising office must be as efficient and effective as everything else the team does. Fundraising is no longer a cottage industry and if you don’t get it right, there are plenty of other organisations your hard-won supporters can turn to. A properly set up database with an integral Customer Relation Management (CRM) function can be critical.

- Put in place systems that minimise your fundraisers’ time in the office, when they could be out with donors
