Hear firsthand from a customer how Clark University used the integrated online marketing and fundraising suite to: Automatically download online event registrations into a Raiser’s Edge batch, saving staff members thousands of hours previously spent manually importing data, grow online donations by segmenting emails and optimizing online giving forms, and use online gift entry forms to eliminate the need for phone-a-thon software and $60,000 in fees annually
