[MCN-L] Membership and Donor Database Question
The Royal Ontario Museum does use Raiser's Edge for our Membership and Fundraising needs - but we're on the larger side as museums go. From what I've heard, Tessitura is worth looking at for fundraising needs, but I'm not sure if it's oriented towards Memberships (it's more performing arts based, but there are some museums using it). Cheers, Deirdre. On Tue, 27 Feb 2007, Janet M Strohl-Morgan wrote: Please let me know what database system you use for membership and fund-raising efforts? Do you use Raiser's Edge?

[MCN-L] Membership and Donor Database Question
Hi Janet, we use Donor2, which runs as a web service. 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.
