Scenario 1: Startup Non-Profit, Inc.
Startup Non-Profit, Inc. is a local non-profit offering after-school programs and other services to at-risk youth. Their annual budget is less than $50,000 per year. They only have one full-time staff person who also works another part-time job to help pay the bills. Startup Non-Profit was in desperate need of a fast, simple solution for handling donations, receipting, doing mailers, and tracking other expenses. dataIDEAL was the perfect solution for them to get their administrative structure up quickly. The data entry and accounting is so simple, junior-high school students and volunteer moms from the neighborhood could do nearly all the administrative tasks, including entering and receipting donations (both print and electronic), entering expenses, processing mailing campaigns and managing contacts. The program directors also now have a place to store their important procedures and forms, saving time when new volunteers come or field trips happen. The executive director of Startup Non-Profit can also control exactly what each user sees and which accounts they have access to. dataIDEAL has allowed Startup Non-Profit to spend more time focusing on the neighborhood and less time doing administrative tasks.
Scenario 2: Mid-Sized Non-Profit, Inc.
Mid-Size Non-Profit, Inc. is a local non-profit that has existed for many years with a budget of around half-a-million dollars. They offer many different services to their community, and have decided to start a private school as well. They use QuickBooks for their accounting, but knew they needed to do a better job of Donor and Foundation tracking. dataIDEAL helped Mid-Size Non-Profit lower their overhead by transitioning regular donors to electronic receipting and by equipping them with the ability to easily send electronic newsletters. dataIDEAL helped Mid-Size Non-Profit increase their giving by allowing them to do targeted mailers and more sophisticated campaigns. The executive director also speaks nationally quite often, and before he leaves, he uses dataIDEAL to notify his donors in that region that he'll be in the area by simply entering in a zip code range and sending a mass e-mail. dataIDEAL also helped Mid-Size Non-Profit integrate their image library into a slide show on their web-site. Mid-Size Non-Profit has many users logging into dataIDEAL and the director can see who logged in when and which staff members updated the data. dataIDEAL has allowed Mid-Sized Non-Profit to reduce overhead costs, bring in more resources and to spend more time focusing on their mission.
Scenario 3: Very Large Non-Profit, Inc.
Very Large Non-Profit, Inc. is a non-profit that has existed for many years, and is known around the country for its work. They already have an IT department, a large web presence, and sophisticated donor tracking software. However, some of their needs cannot be met by their current systems. They have close to 1,000 documents they need to manage and would like to publish those documents on-line for organizations to see. They have over 100 staff around the nation and overseas that need to see immediate account information. dataIDEAL helped Very Large Non-Profit get their document library on-line and integrated with their public website. dataIDEAL also allowed them to have users login over an encrypted connection to view account data and other sensitive data from any part around the world. dataIDEAL has allowed Very Large Non-Profit to reduce overhead costs, move more nimbly and help them share their experience and knowledge with others.
Scenario 4: Content Management
Another non-profit needed a web-site up very quickly, and wanted to be able to edit the contents of the web-site with their own staff. dataIDEAL did custom work to build the website, integrate two different discussion boards, and allowed any content showing on the website, including images, to be changed by non-web-savvy staff using the standard dataIDEAL interface. Now users can login into dataIDEAL, moderate discussion boards, maintain areas such as event listings, job postings, and image galleries on their website, all without knowing any HTML or programming.
