Dear all,
I'm brand new to ebase. We do not have any members. Primarily we apply for support from foundations (and get rejected). Will ebase help me manage my foundation database?
It will help, but that's not what it was primarily designed for.
You might find some of the functions clumsy. For example, payments in
your case would be larger and relatively infrequent compared to
individual contributions. Payments in ebase are coded as Dues and
Contributions, but grants are usually tied to a particular program.
The relationship between funder and grantee usually proceeds in a
different manner than donor or member and an organization.
That said, note that Clif Graves of Tech Rocks has created a
Grants module that plugs into the standard ebase structure and is
organized to handle grants better. It takes a bit of customization to
your copy of ebase, but i think it works pretty well.
If you decide to use ebase to manage grants, we can find out if
Clif's work is still available.
