In providing care and services to patients with life-limiting
conditions, often alongside respite care, modern hospices rely
heavily on volunteers. To retain their commitment, you need to
maximise their contribution and demonstrate your appreciation.
You’ll want the systems they use to be user-friendly while
preventing access to medical and other sensitive personal
information.
Your supporters and donors often have a personal reason for
engaging with your cause. With limited internal resources, it can
be a challenge to understand their motivations and avoid exhausting
their goodwill. Being able to store information securely will help
you to handle the relationship with sensitivity.
You need to maximise every revenue stream: process donations
efficiently, automate Gift Aid and Tax Efficient Giving and make it
as easy as possible to donate and buy merchandise online.
Collection boxes, too, can be valuable source of income and a
low-cost way of publicising your cause. Streamlining the whole
collection box lifecycle will help to minimise the effort involved,
while ensuring every penny donated is put to good use.
Fundraising campaigns and events can generate income and engage
the local community. Your charity software should automate the many
activities involved in running a successful campaign or event,
helping you to target the right people to attend, closely control
your costs, and acquire an insight into what works and what
doesn’t.
