From our Users:
"For a new and growing non-profit organization, MissionAssist provides the best product at the right price. We're quite pleased with our choice."
Donna Englander
Executive Director
Falls Church Education Foundation
"MissionAssist was extremely simple to learn. I heavily researched 4 donor tracking systems. With the other three, they sold training sessions for anywhere from $500-2,500. When I asked how much the sessions were with MissionAssist, I was told they would spend time with me at the beginning and from there, most customers found the program pretty intuitive. I must say, the thought "Yeah, right" went through my head. However, they were right! The program is very simple to learn and easy to navigate . . . it just makes sense."
"Additionally, Donor Strategies support personnel have always answered my questions quickly and accurately and gone the extra mile to make my job easier where they could."

"We've used MissionAssist and its predecessor in our non-profit organization for almost two years. It is easy to learn, user friendly, and provides a readily accessible central database of information for our nearly 3,000 donors and prospects. The event system has been great for tracking our fundraisers. My volunteer solicitors have been very impressed with the Donor Profile sheets. Best of all is the tech support - always there to answer a question, to solve a problem, or make modifications to the program when necessary and feasible."
Nancy Raskin
Assistant Executive Director
District of Columbia Jewish Community Center, www.dcjjc.org
"Our organization spent years using spreadsheets and paper files to track fundraising progress. When I came on board, I was looking for a cost effective, user friendly program that rivaled the often overpriced, overloaded "giants" in the industry. MissionAssist provides a straightforward, logical, easy to use system that can be customized to serve the unique needs of every organization. With MissionAssist you get all components of fundraising under one roof - donor profiles, gift accounting, fund management, and event planning - all in one package rather than as more expensive add-on features that other companies offer. The program is very easy to use and customer support is readily available by phone or email to help. The nicest thing about the customer service - and I've used a lot of different fundraising programs - is that you never hear that it's something quirky with your computer and there's no solution."
"MissionAssist stays with you, talks you through it, and works with you to troubleshoot. MissionAssist has saved me time and money by allowing me to produce quick reports, profiles, and fundraising data in a moment's notice. Also, the system is easily compatible with word processing and spreadsheet programs, so it's simple to download data and further customize any specialized pieces, such as acknowledgements, special reports for Board purposes, or even nametags for events. We have a more productive, more professional office with the addition of MissionAssist, because it's competencies give fundraisers the time to get out and make the connection with the donors while MissionAssist takes care of the details."
Alison Rascher
Director of Development
The Woods Academy
"The donor/member management database program created by Donor Strategies has enabled us to keep track of our members and constituents with greater ease and accuracy. Being able to know the giving history of our donors has increased our fund-raising capabilities tenfold. MissionAssist meets all the needs of our growing nonprofit organization."
Sally Kushner
Executive Director
Our Community’s Health
"Our campaigns and events have relied heavily on MissionAssist's donor profile and segmentation capabilities to identify the best donors and prospects for particular projects. Targeting these prospects has allowed us to substantially cut our mailing costs. Additionally, MissionAssist's ad hoc giving history and demographic reports have really helped me measure the effectiveness of a campaign or event and allowed me to respond quickly to Board requests."

Consulting Services Testimonials
"Donor Strategies took the time to learn about our industry and our members. The end result was a report and recommendations that made sense for us to implement - not just a pie-in-the sky wish list that is unattainable. They gave our volunteer leaders a reality check - something that is much more palatable coming from an outside observer rather than from staff. Our organization can now develop realistic fundraising strategies to help us attain achievable goals."
Elaine Ottley, Associate Director of Volunteer Services
Melanie Myers, Director, ATSS Foundation
American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA)
"The guidance we received from Donor Strategies during our foundation's formation was invaluable. Barbara Ciconte's recommendations were critical to our early success as a credible non-profit organization and a wise investment of resources. After Barbara completed her work for the foundation, she continues to take an active interest in our organization's progress and serves as an enthusiastic cheerleader of our staff. Clearly Barbara sees her work not just as a job but an avocation."
Donna Englander
Executive Director
Falls Church Education Foundation
"Donor Strategies provided the expert guidance we needed to reorganize and expand our education foundation. They led us through a thorough needs assessment and then provided a detailed work plan to help us achieve our goals. That plan has been an extremely effective roadmap to help us move forward. It realistically reflects the resources available to us, but recommends how to use them more effectively. We have received excellent support and valuable direction from Barbara Ciconte throughout both the planning and implementation stages."
Mary Ellen Shaw
Former Superintendent
Falls Church City Public Schools
"We hired Donor Strategies to conduct a board strategic planning meeting. Barbara Ciconte researched our organization in considerable depth and designed a survey for the Board to gauge their opinions. She spent time talking with individual members and directors from which she formulated a plan and agenda for the one-day meeting to maximize our goals and time. Her skills were impressive and the meeting was flawless. Much was accomplished in that session and my Board of Directors could not have been happier with its outcome. A finalized strategic plan was unanimously adopted in February 2003 and has been implemented."
Sharon Corigliano
Executive Director
The NATSO Foundation
"They tailored their advice to the needs of our organization. Their experience and judgment were very valuable as we designed and evaluated our fundraising activities, and we appreciated all their support and encouragement."
