When a business, school, library, museum, park district, family, or other organization needs to fundraise, who do they call?  They call on a professional fundraising event coordinator.  Why? They are the masterminds behind the scenes of the nation’s best fundraising events.   Some fundraising events aim to earn a few thousand dollars for a small project or initiative.  Other events draw millions of dollars for a good cause.  For the modern-day fundraising event coordinator, one tool is indispensable:  Fundraising Event Coordinator CRM Software.

This field requires a lot from its coordinators: organization, reliability, and Fundraising Event Coordinator CRM Software.

Here are three helps for the twenty-first century fundraising event planner:

1. Dream Big. If you’re going to make it in fundraising and development, you’re going to have to learn to say “Yes,” (and mean it).  You are going to have to be a dreamer.  You need to imagine that you will make those fundraising goals.  Sometimes clients tell you they want to make a million dollars on a shoestring budget.  If you immediately say that it is impossible, you’re not dreaming big enough.  You’re also likely to lose the client.  There is something to say about being a realist.  There’s also something to say about thinking “outside the box.”  Anybody who’s anybody in the fundraising industry knows there is a subtle balance to both. Dream big so you can make big dreams come true.
2. Sell, sell, sell! Fundraising Event Coordinator CRM Software is going to help you sell yourself and possibly sell to your prospective donors.  On the business administration end, you can reach out to potential leads to get new contracts underway, and the CRM Software will help by keeping you and the leads connected via email, phone, and SMS (text messaging).  On the other hand, this software can actually help manage donations as well.  It can help organize all your leads as you make calls to collect on fundraising initiatives.
3. Track those numbers. You have to stay on top of the accounting side of things, too.  It makes sense to track the success of your fundraising campaigns, but you also have to keep track of your firm’s spending and earnings as well.  Fundraising Event Coordinator CRM Software makes this easy, too.  All you have to do is connect the CRM software to your payment software.  That’s no problem at all thanks to full software integration.  You can also run reports to show expenses and revenue.  The software offers templates for expenses and invoices.  E-signature, document storage, and more keeps all the paperwork organized.  A mobile application lets you access these documents on the go.
