In many cases the majority of a non-profit cultural arts organization’s budget is balanced due to their fundraising and membership efforts. Unlike most of our competitors, Tessitura never considered this “add-on” functionality, or something that we “have to do to stay competitive”. Instead, we view the cultivation and successful tracking of potential donors/members as a cornerstone of your operation and offer just as much attention and functionality to this area as we do to ticketing.
It all starts in the Constituent Record, which records and summarizes a wide variety of fundraising/membership data.
From financial history to cultivation activities to gala sales to planned estate giving, Tessitura offers the Development department the “big picture” they always wanted in a clean, easily understood environment.
Contribution transactions, ranging from simple gifts to complex pledges, can be handled quickly and efficiently.
And for those special constituents who deserve the very highest level of service, various levels of security features can be activated so that only certain staff members can handle (or even see) your VIP’s specific functions, transactions or entries.
Not all non-profit organizations are the same, and what is needed for a fast-moving cultural organization is very different from that of a hospital, library or school district. Unlike others in this industry, Tessitura is committed strictly to the world of non-profit performing and cultural arts and proves this dedication every day through its comprehensive Fundraising/Membership features.
