I would like to know what kind of "fund raising and donor tracking
software" do state bars and state bar foundations use all over the 50
states in the US. This software would be used to track donor activity
such as amount funded, when it was funded, how it was solicited and
how does it help to cultivate a relationship between the donor snd the
Bar association.

The answers would be structured as:

Software name, manufacturer, capability, website, price, success rate,
and which Bar uses it.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 05 Mar 2003 14:44 PST

Hello aryaone-ga,

I’ve started researching your question and my preliminary results lead
me ask about the context of your question. The more information you
can share, the more likely we can find the information you need.

I haven’t found an easy way to locate information about the donor
tracking software choices of the 50+ state bar associations. I believe
the only way to collect this information will be to find the contact
information for each bar association and then get in touch with them
to find out what software they’re using. They may or may not be
willing to share this information.

On the other hand, I’ve found lots of information about a variety of
donor tracking software products used by membership organizations,
associations and other non-profit entities. Would a review of the
range of donor-tracking and fundraising software products available
meet your needs? Are you looking for such software? Do you have a set
of criteria you’re using to evaluate what’s available?

I look forward to your clarification.

Thank you for your reply. The purpose of the query is that a donor
tracking DW with an organization is not working well, has problems of
tech service and needs patches which are not readily available.

Therefore to consider a change one will need to know what SW other
orgs are using, or at least 2 or 3 major ones using.

If that is available one may think of following suit. 


If you can do that, say for Vermont, Maryland and Massahcusettes, well
and good.

If not then what you propose is acceptable, in which case please
narrow down the search answers to 3 or 5 main kinds, with performance,
update history and cost effectiveness.

Parddon me if this is not as clear as you might prefer.

Your answer will influence which SW is chosen.
