donorflex
Individual Giving Track Sponsor

It's tempting to think that any of the upheavals of recent years – Olive Cooke, GDPR, Covid, lockdown, and all that – have created the need for your organisation’s reputation and ideals to be matched by a CRM system that underpins your supporter care. Not so. Those events have simply refocussed attention on the 'what' and 'when' of your communications with them, as well as the 'how'. And the 'why' and 'how often'. They're questions that are answered in your supporter data, too. Or should be. That's why donorflex isn’t just about great CRM functionality, and hasn't been for nigh-on 35 years now. It’s about understanding life on the income-generation front-line. Let’s have a chat. We’re on Stand 21.
