Choosing donor management software is a major investment for nonprofits — but what actually influences those decisions?

Karen Graham is leading the 2026 Donor Management Software Study to gather insights from nonprofit professionals across the sector, including:
- When organizations decide to switch systems
- Which features matter most
- Whether users would choose the same software again

If your organization does fundraising from individual donors, consider participating in this confidential survey.

👉 Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/gYFu5s3z

Your feedback will help nonprofits make more informed technology decisions and help software providers better understand sector needs.

A simple question like “How can I contribute?” can open doors, spark meaningful connections, and begin relationships that grow over time. Because the most impactful opportunities are often built quietly — through consistency, curiosity, and the courage to reach out.

Networking is not always about having a clear goal or immediate outcome.

What matters is how we show up in the moments in front of us. 💙💛

If this resonates with you, The Mentoring Club is hosting a 5-part workshop on building meaningful relationships that grow over time.

Dates are: June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 at 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM PST
