The dust has settled on end of year fundraising in 2025. Now comes the ask from your leadership and board: “Show us the results.”
For many, this can be stressful. If your systems don’t talk to each other, you’re likely spending dozens of hours manually crunching numbers that should be available at the touch of a button.
Many organizations rely on workarounds to access basic data points and while these might get you through the week, they create long-term risks:
- Data Silos: Inconsistent information across departments and systems.
- Burnout: Staff spending time on spreadsheets instead of fostering donor relationships.
- Missed Revenue: Inability to act strategically on your data.
If workarounds and manual number crunching are taking up your time this week, it might be time to ask yourself: is our fundraising technology serving us well? How do we figure this out?

Here’s what Kevin Ringkamp from the League of Women Voters had to say about working with us for a Technology Assessment:
The League of Women Voters needed to replace our digital marketing solution and we were looking for help assessing our needs and ultimately selecting a solution. Sally and Charlotte were true partners in this journey, and it was a great experience. They provided a clear and thorough process with the right amount of flexibility. We would highly recommend Raise HECK for a technology assessment and selection project.
