Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity July 29, 2009

This Habitat for Humanity office is new to GiftWorks, but is already benefiting from the software.  They credit the organizational improvement provided by GiftWorks with generating the largest attendance at an annual event.

After much frustration with our former donor database and months of research, Pikes Peak Habitat for Humanity (PPHFH) purchased GiftWorks in February of this year. Since the implementation of GiftWorks into our system, the everyday tasks of entering donations, thanking donors, tracking volunteer hours, and creating reports have been simplified and intuitive, an experience truly foreign in dealing with our former database. Daily, the staff at Pikes Peak Habitat is discovering a new function within GiftWorks which makes administrative tasks easier than ever thought possible.

In fact, an example of the ease and simplification GiftWorks has brought to the PPHFH office is the organization improvement it brought to our 7th annual fundraising event. Approximately 650 people were in attendance, our largest event yet. Preparation for our event, the Hike for Habitat, required us to keep track of early registrations, our volunteers' tasks, team names and members, and sponsorship levels, among other things. With GiftWorks' groups and Smart-lists, tracking the information for this year's fundraiser was painless and even fun. Now, as we look back on the event, we can easily access facts we will need to report on to our board and in grant applications. Thank you GiftWorks!
