Email Marketing System Set Up

Project details

What we need
  • Set up of Organization's account in email marketing software (possible tools include Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor)
  • Imported contact list into software with guidance on list cleaning & management
Additional details

My organization (children's bereavement center) has been using RaisersEdge as a fundraising database. We would like to migrate many of the names in it to a database that we can use for communication with the public about programs, events, general information, etc. We are trying to understand what kind of database (e.g., mailchimp, constant contact) we need for that function, and how to set it up to be an effective tool for targeted communications.

What we have in place
  • we have about 5000 names in raisers edge. That platform is managed by our parent organization, a large healthcare system. We have a part time administrative assistant who manages our data entry, mailing, event planning, etc. I am a part time executive director and we have 1.5 FTE in program staff. We have an active board committee that is helping plan and execute this project.
How this will help
This project will save us $790 , allowing us to reach families in need, recruit volunteers for our program, and improve a potential donor pool.

The services we provide are free to families. All our revenue comes from grants, special events, and donations. We need to be a recognizable organization through regular communications which ultimately will help to build our donor base and also alert families to our services and supports. We have been in operation 21 years and have a stable financial profile . However, very few people in the general population know about us.
