A survey by IT specialists Tate Bramald has confirmed that fundraisers are not satisfied
with the fundraising software on offer to them.
The survey reported that there are
over 100 fundraising software systems in use in the UK, leading to an “immature 
market.” The 51 respondents to the questionnaire used 14 different packages.

Fewer than one third of them would recommend their fundraising package to another
fundraiser. The key issues for fundraisers were the lack of integration capabilities
with other systems and the lack of reporting capabilities.

John Tate, director of Tate Bramald, said: “Organisations looking to select new 
systems need to take considerable care in the selection process to ensure that they
buy the right product.”
