Fundraising

Fundraising and Constituent Engagement
Building an uninterrupted and personal connection for your donors is the best way to ensure their continued support. ARMS helps you build and maintain those connections.
ARMS Fundraising utilizes the same core fundraising technology leveraged by over 1,000 organizations, including Wikimedia and Amnesty International, to help you improve on core fundraising metrics including alumni donor participation, absolute dollars raised per year, and cost per dollar raised.
ARMS Fundraising will help you:
- Raise more money through better prospect identification and targeting, greater attraction of new prospects, more conversions to season ticket holders and donors, and retention rates.
- Reduce costs and administrative burdens by executing electronic/online campaigns and automatic capturing and updating of constituent information.
- Interact with constituents more frequently and effectively and by tracking all interactions in a centralized system that everyone can access anytime, anywhere.
- Facilitate analyzing your constituents and their interactions with your institution to better inform your decision making.
