Nonprofits need to keep track of huge numbers of people—clients, funders, donors, students, volunteers—and events. For many nonprofits, this information is scattered across Excel files, email address books, Word documents, paper lists, ad hoc databases and even individual business cards. Finding a database that is affordable, expandable and features a simple query and report system is one of the most difficult tasks an executive director faces. As one said, "It is a nightmare." 

Metrix is a contact management database built by the Fund specifically to meet the needs of nonprofit organizations. Metrix can:

• Track all interactions with clients, members, volunteers, staff, donors, mentors,  organizations, families, foundations, government agencies and corporations
• Organize and analyze revenue by source—grants, contracts, fees, individual donations—payment status and project/program designation    
• Build mailing lists and track communications by contact, contribution level, demographics, geography, previous mailings and attendance
• Eliminate duplicates from mailing lists automatically

Fund staff installs Metrix on a nonprofit's computers ready to use—with its existing data uploaded and configured. Click here for additional information on Metrix.
