Past Perfect has a membership database that is part of the collections
software. We do not use that component of the software, but it is nice
because it links collection donors with membership records. There is
also a master Individuals database from which memberships and collection
donors can be drawn from. It would clearly highlight who is not a
member! It's also not too expensive. 

Their website would have more information.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Donor Management Software


Our small museum is looking for some recommendations for Donor
Management Software.
Currently we use Access for our membership database....
but I need something that can manage special events, track pledges, etc.
Many of our major donors are not in fact members!
Any recommendations would be helpful (also software you've used that you
didn't like would be useful too).

Raiser's Edge is probably a bit much for us - we've only got 5 full time
people - but I'm looking at a comparision sheet that lists Best
Software, Inc. MIP Fundraising Program, 4.0 ; DonorPerfect Version 7;
NonProfitBooks Office 3.0; ebase Version 2.03; etapestry(ASP); and
Salesforce.com ---- anyone used any of those?
 
We appreciate any help you can give.  Presently, we are drowning in a
sea of excel spreadsheet mailing lists... not very efficient. 

Thanks for any help!
