We also know that you'll want to measure the success of these contributions, and use that knowledge to plan ahead.
Merchandise
Control and quantify your lines, and manage multiple stock locations and consignments. Understand who buys what and when, and use this knowledge to develop relationships with supporters. Track the VAT and ensure you manage purchase-related extra donations so that you maximise your income via Gift Aid qualifying income streams.
Third-party events
Keep track of the sports days, jumble sales or coffee mornings – and so on – organised on your behalf by supporters. Formulate a diary of fundraising programmes and monitor income received. Allocate your representatives – and equipment – to functions. Then use donorflex's enquiry facilities to assist with financial planning and control.
Gifts in kind
Many supporters donate gifts, ranging from toiletries to a purpose-designed minibus. donorflex will record, acknowledge, value and classify them according to your organisation's conventions, registering them as balance sheet items and even assigning a depreciation term. Enquiry facilities provide classified registers of gifts received.
Collecting boxes
Whether it's loose change put into a box, the proceeds from selling lapel badges, or any similar activity, donorflex provides a structured and comprehensive system for managing the issue and return of all collecting box types – either singly or as a batch – to donors and agents. You can generate letters of acknowledgement, exploit those collecting box types that qualify for Gift Aid, and run enquiries by donor, agent, area, and various aspects of outstanding boxes.
Memberships
Recruit, manage and mailshot supporters through a variety of membership schemes, whatever the type or renewal period. It's all supported by a range of analyses and enquiries to assist in the strategic understanding of the membership populations.
Pledges
Keep track of pledges made by donors to make donations – for example, promises to pay a sum of money arising from a coffee morning, a jumble sale or any other third-party event. Record the successful outcome of grant applications ahead of receiving the funds, track CAF vouchers and record foreign currency donations ahead of conversion.
Information requests
The word's out! Record and monitor requests for information and use the data for follow-up action. Enquiry facilities let you to see all requests made by a person, list those who've asked for a given item in a chosen period, and everyone who responded to a prompt. You can also produce tailored acknowledgement letters to accompany the items.
