AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/25/06 -- Sage Software today announced that Heather
Burton, product marketing manager for its Nonprofit Solutions, will
facilitate two panels on donor retention techniques at the Association for
Healthcare Philanthropy's (AHP) 40th Annual International Educational
Conference, to be held September 27-October 1 at the Orlando World Center
Marriott Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
Titled, "Be Your Donor's Favorite Charity: Donor Retention Tips and
Techniques," and scheduled for Thursday, September 28 at 3:45 p.m. and 5:00
p.m., the panel sessions will discuss donor retention tips and techniques,
with an emphasis on technology used to implement retention strategies.
Sage Software will also exhibit its Sage Fundraising 50 and Sage MIP Fund
Accounting solutions in Booth #111 at the conference.
"Coming from the nonprofit industry, I understand the importance of donor
retention," said Burton. "It takes valuable time, money, and effort to
attract new donors, and competition for public and private grants is
increasing, so organizations need to hold tight to their current donors. I
look forward to helping AHP conference attendees understand how technology
can help them effectively capture valuable donor information and then
utilize it to broaden and deepen the donor-nonprofit relationship."
In addition to Sage Software's Burton, executives from such organizations
as Cleveland Clinic, Duke Children's Hospital and Health Center, IDC, The
Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Sheppard Pratt Health System, and
Shriners Hospital for Children will facilitate panels on various
fundraising topics at the conference.
