Fostering Donor Relationships Help Minnesota Youths of Color Achieve College Dreams

Rochester, MN October 21, 2008 — http://www.ResultsplusSoftware.com — ResultsPlus, a fundraising software solution from Metafile, is enabling large and small non-profit organizations to automate nearly all mission critical fundraising activities with minimum IT involvement. Page Education Foundation, utilizes ResultsPlus to help Minnesota youth of color realize their college dreams.

Page Education Foundation, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a small, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of Minnesota youths of color. By fostering positive attitudes about education and offering financial assistance for college, the foundation has helped send over three thousand students to college in the past 20 years.

Unfortunately, because the foundation was using an antiquated software system that did not have the ability to maintain detailed donor information, they were challenged when it came time to plan and target future fundraising initiatives.

The system Page Education Foundation was using did not even have the capability to provide foundation employees specific information about donor’s interests or to record specific causes donors had contributed to in the past. Without specific donor data, requests for donations and acknowledgement letters, a critical communication which helps the foundation seek support for Minnesota youth interested in attending college, could not be customized to the letter recipients.
