Crimson Feature of the Month: Moves Management, Part II
Tracking your major gift program can be a challenge. With multiple donors at different points in the giving cycle, it’s easy to forget to follow-up or not meet deadlines. Crimson solves those issues for fundraising teams with our Moves Management tracker. This dashboard visually organizes the process of moving prospective donors through the giving process. Starting with discovery and cultivation through the completed donation, Moves Management helps committees and organizations keep track of how they are reaching these prospects.
Moves Management utilizes familiar features, such as Tasks and Notes. It also incorporates an interactive dashboard that tracks communications, upcoming deadlines, and recent contributions associated with donors or prospects. Once you assign a Move to a People Record, you can move the donor/prospect between life cycle stages, such as Discovery to Completion, with a simple drag-and-drop of your mouse.
