Trail Blazer Non-Profit Manager Review

Easily Search Donors

Donors are the ones that drive the success of any fundraising program or activity. The great thing about Trail Blazer Non-Profit Manager is that it provides features that make donor tracking and engagement a breeze. For instance, the software has a feature that allows users to find donors within the software. In this feature, they can filter the results by selecting custom donor attributes. The software then returns results that match the attributes they clicked.

Set Custom Donor Attributes To Build Targeted Donors

Creating custom donor attributes is a strategic way that permits users to classify or categorize donors. As a result, they will be able to come up with a targeted list of people and reach out to them in the best possible ways, taking into account the donor attributes that describe them.

Wealth Screening Option

Trail Blazer Non-Profit Manager includes an option that allows the screening of donors based on their giving capacity and history. Named as the DonorSearch Wealth Screening Option, it aids users in determining which donors have the potential to help them quickly reach their fundraising goals. In other words, these are the donors that have been actively and consistently participating in giving activities outside the organization and are very critical to the success of their organization’s fundraising campaigns.

Improve Engagement With Donors

Being able to identify major or key donors is just the first step in fundraising and donor management. The software ensures that organizations are able to effectively engage with their targeted donors. Thus, the next step is donor communication. Trail Blazer Non-Profit Manager provides tools so that users can reach out to donors based on any attribute or information they know about them.

Send Out Mass Emails

Deliver Personalized Thank You Letters

Aside from the ability to send mass emails, the software also makes it possible to send thank you letters to donors. This way, donors will feel that their contributions and efforts are being recognized and valued by the organization. In fact, these thank you letters can be personalized.

Supports Mobile Giving Through Payment Solution Integration
