As promised, the GiftWorks 2008 Standard Upgrade is available for our customers today! We released GiftWorks 2008 Standard to the public on March 17, and now have it available as an upgrade to existing customers. Many nonprofits have already ordered the upgrade and will receive it today.
Our team has been overwhelmed by the enthusiam for the enhancements delivered in GiftWorks 2008. We are grateful to all of our customers for providing excellent feedback that has helped us shape this next generation of GiftWorks. We are also grateful to our consultant partners. This stellar group of professionals serving the nonprofit community has provided us with both constructive critism and praise, and has helped to steer our product and our company in direction that best serves the nonprofit community. For their hours of beta-testing, review, instruction and more, well, it is really impossible to thank them enough. Maybe the best thank you would be to remind you that you can find nonprofit consultants in your area on our website by clicking the Partners tab.
Finally, with GiftWorks 2008 we have some hopefully very helpful new resources. I encourage everyone to check out the GiftWorks 2008 Guides. From Donor Management to Campaign Management, these guides help nonprofits use GiftWorks 2008 to achieve their fundraising goals. These guides are the result of a team effort: Fundraising consultant Karen Schaller of Bangor, Maine; Chris Walker and the Mission Reserach crew; and editor Craig Lauer all collaborated to create them. We also have some short videos created by our own Russ Burke, which highlight different GiftWorks 2008 features. Check them out here!
Next up: GiftWorks 2008 Premium. Coming soon so stay tuned!

You mention in your blog that you have hopeful and helpful guides. What do you mean by hopeful guides? By the way why is there videos about tramadol on your giftworks forum?

Hello,
I didn't download the earlier version of GiftWorks when I paid for it a couple of months ago; it seemed practical to wait until we had purchased a new computer and I had more time to deal with the installation. How do I get a license key for the 2008 version? We now have the new computer and am ready to download the program! I can't wait! Thanks, Catherine
