Facebook Forms

Did you know the average 12 month value of a Facebook supporter is $214.81, yet only 33% of nonprofits are fundraising on Facebook? Think of the positive impact this could have on your year end fundraising. Facebook Forms are easy to implement with thedatabank. They cost $100 per form, can be ready in a week, and all the data goes directly into your Databank. Order one today!

Product Enhancements

Form Builder Now Available in the Databank 

The form builder tool is available to users with access to the Setup menu in their Databank. Easily create new web forms or edit existing ones in minutes - no more waiting for our tech staff to create or edit your forms. Just like with all Databank forms, the data flows seamlessly into your Databank. This is a free tool for our clients who have our Premium system. If you have access to the Setup menu, you will see it under Setup -> Form Builder. Learn more.

Tip Du Jour

Quick Find Search

Have you seen the little search bar in the upper right corner of your Databank? This is our relatively new feature: Quick Find. While similar to EZ-Query, there are some special differences and functionalities, such as: EZ-Query always creates a member selection. Quick Find only creates a member selection if you press <Enter> in the search box. Quick Find is more oriented to finding a specific member, without disrupting the current selection. Learn more about Quick Find.

Donor Acquisition on Social Media - The Overlooked Goldmine! (Part One)

As someone who started doing direct mail prospecting in the 1980s, I’m old enough to have been around in the “Golden Age” of direct mail, and not so old that I can't remember it. While there are lots of tales about that time, mostly true or based on things that might have been true, I personally managed direct mail acquisition campaigns in the late 1980s and early 1990s that were revenue positive, meaning that acquiring new donors actually made money.
