[BCMA] Membership/Donations program

Fri Nov 5 18:41:45 PDT 2010

We converted our collections management system to PastPerfect last year.
Although I haven't paid too much attention to these features, since we
have our membership database already established in our POS system, it
does have a membership database, and will also generate letters for a
membership or fundraising campaign. For a small to mid sized operation
it is a nice solution to purchase one program which provides both
database functions, although if you are using another collection
management system you presumably could find less expensive stand alone
fundraising/ membership software.  Anyone I talked to has been pretty
happy with Pastperfect although again I was focused more on the
collections management side.  

The Pastperfect site does have a free trial download at
www.museumsoftware.com <http://www.museumsoftware.com/>   and it looks
like the new version has expanded the features for the
membership/campaign tab.

Hi all,

I would love to be included in the responses as we are looking at
something similar;  other mid-size museums' experience with a
Donor/membership  database would be of value,

	Can anyone please help us to find a new Membership/Donations
program to replace our existing in-house program.

	The program will need to keep track of different
Membership/Donation catagories for internal and external reporting as
well as having the capability of producing Income Tax receipts & related
reports.
