[BCMA] Membership/Donations program

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I second Elizabeth's statement. The Chilliwack Museum as well as UFV Visual
Arts Department both use Past Perfect for managing members, along with
collections. It's built for managing donors/members and producing reports
typical to what a museum would need. You can also use it as a mailing list
as it produces labels and can send mass emails and form letters. The bonus
is that you get a great collections software program at the same time with
online capabilities. Price is fantastic for what you get.

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.
