Description and Author Information rccDONOR, Version 1.7
Long Description:
rccDONOR is a full featured donor tracking program that's easy to use
and grows with your organization. It tracks data on up to 65,000
people an organizations and generates reports to help you plan and
evaluate your fund development strategy and efforts. rccDONOR combines
a mailing list manager, donor tracking system, fundraising event and
donation tracking - all in one program designed to meet the demands of
professional fundraisers.
rccDONOR was developed and tested with small to medium sized non-
profit organizations, specifically a rape crisis center in California
(that's where the name came from) and a battered women's shelter in
Pennsylvania. Both groups were new to computerization. Traditional
donation tracking systems were priced too far out of their operating
budget and seemed to be aimed at much larger organizations. rccDONOR
is meant to provide the power of a donation tracking system at a price
which a struggling nonprofit can afford, and it is marketed by the
shareware method so that an agency can 'try before buy'.
Quotes from Users:
"rccDONOR gave us the information our board and
volunteers needed to increase our fundraising by 42%"
Nancy Weiss, Executive Director
Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center
"Due to public fund cutbacks, our agency had to
increase our fundraising income by over 50%. We knew
donor tracking was critical to our plans, but couldn't
afford any of the expensive packages on the market.
Then we found rccDONOR. It gives us the critical
information we need for tracking donors and events.
rccDONOR enabled us to reach our goal."
Barbara Weber, Executive Director
A Woman's Place
(Battered women's shelter in Pennsylvania)
I've been working with non-profits for 15 years and
haven't come across a program for under $2,000 that
comes close to rccDONOR in terms of features, power,
and flexibility. And the manual, on-screen help, and
drop down menus make it easy to learn and use. I
recommend it to all my clients - rccDONOR is the best
$100 investment a fundraiser can make."

Author/Publisher Information:
Irwin Computer Engineering is a small company owned and operated by
Alan Irwin. We have been writing software and designing electronic
systems since 1985. Our focus is to provide appropriate automation
tools for business and industry.
rccDONOR was originally developed at the request of a rape crisis
center in California and a battered women's shelter in Pennsylvania -
two outstanding programs with limited financial resources. There are
hundreds and thousands of non-profit organizations doing vital work
that benefits us all, directly or indirectly. They not only provide
crucial services, they must meet the added demands of fundraising - a
field that has become very competitive, sophisticated, and ironically,
expensive. These groups deserve our support. Creating rccDONOR and
making it affordable to small and medium sized non-profits is one way
we at Irwin Computer Engineering can lend a broad base of support to
the people and organizations who support us and our community every
day. We are confident rccDONOR can help your organization and in turn,
your community.
