Overall Satisfaction with Foundation Directory Online (FDO)
FDO is used for researching and tracking all institutional fundraising opportunities from prospecting to stewardship. For all prospects, we use it to have a profile of the target organization. It is particularly helpful for those foundations/grantmakers who do not have their own websites or whose websites do not provide much information.
- Grant research (best online database of grantmakers and grants).
- Grant management for nonprofits (you can track your progress and documents).
- Need more staff (they do a ton of input from 990s and such, need more people to help them).
- No integration with major CRMs (for Christodora, an integration with Salesforce would eliminate several steps in our prospecting).
- More prospects (and eventually more grants).
- Cleaner and leaner institutional fundraising opportunity tracking.
CyberGrants is more of a grant request software so that's pretty different. Grantseeker by Fluxx is a good tracking software for keeping track of your institutional fundraising progress, but ultimately FDO's database of information dwarfs any other.
