Hi Janet, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston uses Millennium by Sage Software. I've also used Raiser's Edge at The Methodist Hospital Foundation. All systems have their advantages and disadvantages, but could provide you more info and/or other possible resources if you like.

We bought it after conducting an RFP that ended up ruling out Raiser's Edge because of complexity and (in-house) support issues. We have a very small (2 people) Development department, and an IT department that needs another major application to support like a hole in the head. In addition to fund raising and development, we use it for mail list management. After 2 years of use, it has proven almost entirely trouble-free. I also like those guys because just before Katrina hit they invited me to zip up the database and ftp it to their server.
