How does CRM management work for nonprofits?
The assistant merges duplicate households, fixes addresses from returned mail and NCOA updates, tags donors by campaign, giving level, event history and interests, keeps soft credits and matching gifts attached, builds the segments your appeals and newsletters need, and flags lapsed donors and lapsed members on a schedule so someone reaches out. The weekly review looks at data-quality fixes, segment sizes and the lapsed list. A nonprofit CRM decays as fast as staff turn over; a person whose job is the database stops the decay.
