Fundraising CRM News from DonorPerfect

So I start my blogging career...

So, I've jumped on the blogging bandwagon (finally) and have succumbed to the siren's song of our marketing guys (Sam and Marc ZG) to start writing some personal insight, remarks, and comments of the non-profit community I call home.

First, some background information about me:

I've been working with non-profit organizations exclusively for over 10 years. I started with DonorPerfect back when Windows was becoming cool, and the Internet and email did not exist- at least not in any great useful way at the time.

I did not own a cell phone, a blackberry, or a PDA. I didn't even have basic cable.

Now, 10 years later, all that has changed. I'm married to a wonderful wife, Susan, and I am the proud father of four children, Annie, Michael, Brian, and Teddy. My parents were fond of saying, "there's never a good time to have children and you can never afford them- so you might as well have them now and quickly." I love sayings like that.

I've also been fortunate to be part of a team that has helped grow DonorPerfect into the leading fundraising software solution for small and mid-size organizations. Back in 1995, we had 20 employees- now we have over 150! Today, I serve as Vice President of DonorPerfect Online, our ASP (Application Service Provider) fundraising solution for organizations that want a web-based, hosted solution, or an enterprise, installed solution for larger clients.

In addition to the 'feel good things' I have, I do own a cell phone and have had cable for several years now. I still do not have a blackberry of PDA yet, but I think my phone can handle it. For a gift this year, my wife is buying us digital cable, for one TV, but I still think it's too expensive.

Over the next many months, I'll be sharing more of a perspective on DonorPerfect fundraising software, our great staff, and our exceptional clients that make us who we are today. My goal is that you'll see DonorPerfect not just as a successful, proven fundraising software company, but one that listens and can react to our client's needs proactively.

Our success is absolutely dependent on yours! So let us know and you can always reach me at jonb@donorperfect.com.
