I work at a small museum which currently uses an old version of PastPerfect 
for our collections database.  We also use a program called GiftMaker Pro 
from Campaign Associates for tracking donation, mailing lists, memberships, 
etc.  The company that produces GiftMaker has recently been bought out by 
another company called Blackbaud, and will soon be forced to start using 
Blackbaud’s software Raiser’s Edge.  The conversion to this new fundraising 
software will be several thousand dollars, which is very significant for a 
museum of our size.  It has recently come to my attention that Past Perfect 
v4.0 has fundraising and membership features included.  While I doubt that 
the development modules in Past Perfect will be as intricate as those in 
GiftMaker, I am hoping that they may be adequate for a small institution 
such as mine. I am looking for feedback from anyone who has used these 
features in PastPerfect, and especially anyone who has used both 
PastPerfect 4 and GiftMaker.  Thank you for your assistance.
