If you are in charge of the fundraising efforts for your organization, you probably appreciate any and all tools that make your job a little bit easier and manageable. Check out this new tool, Qbase Fundraising Manager, that is located on the Web. It may prove to be a valuable time saver and a headache preventer. And that's right- it's located online. That means no downloading software or programs, and you can access your organization's fundraising records from any computer, anywhere. As Qbase's Web site quips, you can even take 'work' pool-side now. Whether or not you appreciate a tool such as Qbase may depend on how involved your fundraising efforts are; if you track records for numerous donors and are constantly updating databases, it may prove helpful. If you are someone who loves having quick access to e-mail accounts, Web-based reminders and to-do lists, etc., then you would probably appreciate the organized and secure network that Qbase offers.
To learn more, Qbase offers a free tour of their site online, and has friendly staff that follow up with you personally to answer any questions and work with you to see how they can meet your fundraising needs. This site's service does come with a fee, however, that varies with each client. You may need to weigh your options and decide if the benefits the site can offer you outweigh the cost.
