At Tech Impact, we believe in bringing unbiased research about important technology issues to the nonprofit sector. If there were ever a specific category of software that was directly developed for nonprofit organizations, it is fundraising software. I am grateful to all of our sponsors and advertisers, who feel as passionate as we do about the importance of this report.

Fundraising is something nearly every organization faces, yet the options for software that enables this important function are significant. This research is meant to provide you with an easy-to-follow guide to many of the solutions on the market today and to help you align your organization’s needs to the features and functions that you are most likely to use in your organization.

If you are considering your first fundraising software investment or looking to upgrade your software to keep up with the demands of your development team, I am hopeful that you find this guide very useful. I encourage you to share your feedback with us so that we can strengthen future publications. And, please pass it along to other organizations who might benefit.

Most importantly, I am hopeful that this information helps you to strengthen your processes and deliver efficiently and effectively on your mission.

Thank you for your commitment to our community.

Sincerely,

Patrick Callihan
Executive Director, Tech Impact
