“This new software addresses the needs of nonprofits of all sizes, helping them track donor information and successfully communicate with donors,” said Diana Hoyt, president and founder of Heritage Designs. “MatchMaker FundRaising Software Enterprise Edition enhances a nonprofit’s capacity for fundraising and helps them raise more money.”

In early 2007, Chrysalis Shelter in Phoenix became the first Enterprise beta test site. Current Enterprise clients now can be found from Los Angeles to Boston. Heritage Designs has nonprofit clients in 26 states using either the new Enterprise Edition or Heritage’s other fundraising software package, MatchMaker FundRaising Software Standard Edition. Clients include hospitals, colleges and schools, library foundations and social service organizations, such as domestic violence shelters, food banks and more.

“We have been extremely pleased with Enterprise,” said Patricia Klahr, president and CEO of the Chrysalis Shelter. “Our staff is able to effectively manage donor information and generate critical reports for Chrysalis’ stakeholders.”

The easy-to-use and robust software tracks a nonprofit’s donors, special events, volunteers, grants, contributions and pledges, and cultivation activities.

“With charitable giving on the rise, we want to ensure our clients are continuing to see positive growth,” said Hoyt. “The software manages every aspect of a fundraising program and provides the flexibility to meet the changes in the evolving fundraising landscape.”

U.S. charitable giving reached a new record in 2006, an estimated $295 billion, according to Giving USA 2007, the yearbook of philanthropy published by Giving USA Foundation.

Heritage Designs is committed to serving the nonprofit sector and to providing excellence in designing solutions for fundraising. The cornerstone of its approach is MatchMaker FundRaising Software, a fundraising/donor management software package. In addition to the software, Heritage Designs provides comprehensive training, technical support and fundraising consulting.
