 \nDonors are the lifeblood of your small organization\, volunteers the str
 ong backs upon which it is built. You rely on them\, and on the partners a
 nd other constituents who interact with your nonprofit on a daily basis. T
 racking them all involves creating and maintaining a lot of data. \n\nBut 
 that data also needs to be accessible. A database is like a First Aid kit—
 it doesn’t matter what’s in it if you can’t get to it when you need to. Fo
 r example\, if a donor calls\, you want to be able to instantly access the
 ir donation history\, their personal information and any other relevant da
 ta. Good luck doing all that with an Excel spreadsheet.\n \nThe right dono
 r management database makes it easy to see the relationships between data 
 and donors and other constituents\, and more importantly\, keeps that info

 et. That’s the bad news\, too—if you’re a small organization on a tight bu
