National FFA Foundation Selects Stratuslive Technology to Support Their Fundraising Efforts While Increasing Efficiencies Between Each Location Nationally
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (PRWEB) May 30, 2018 -- StratusLIVE announced today that the National FFA Foundation has recently selected Stratus 365 as their new fundraising software platform to support their focus on youth development, education, leadership development, community service and agriculture.
The National FFA Foundation software selection process began in January 2018 with a comprehensive review of available Nonprofit CRM systems and culminated with the selection of StratusLIVE in May 2018.
Staci Glaser, Director of Donor Services, National FFA Foundation stated, “We currently use 14 separate systems at National FFA for everything from donation processing and tracking to marketing appeals and membership management, but they do not integrate with one another. StratusLIVE is a wonderful fundraising solution that will allow us to fully integrate with Microsoft Dynamics and house all constituent information in one central database. This will allow us to communicate better with our members, alumni, and donors.”
In particular, FFA noted StratusLIVE’s ease of use, commercial Microsoft platform, scalability, and profound nonprofit knowledge and expertise as key factors which set Stratus 365 apart from other competitors.
Glaser stated, “StratusLIVE is loaded with functionality that we will use to streamline and improve the efficiency of our fundraising tactics. With features like native integration to Microsoft Office, a direct plugin to Outlook, and the ability to access it on computers, cellphones, and tablets, we will be more efficient in communicating with our donors and employees alike.”
“StratusLIVE provides a multitude of comprehensive reports and dashboards right out of the box, along with providing users the freedom to create custom reports as their needs grow and change over time. This will be key in supplying information for different teams throughout each department,” said Glaser. “Out of the box functionality such as Moves Management, Gift Processing, and Marketing appeal tracking will all improve the way we work. StratusLIVE is the most developed solution that fits all of our needs.”
“We are excited to add National FFA Foundation to our growing list of clients,” said Jim Funari, StratusLIVE CEO. “We are very pleased to know that our technology will play a role in helping FFA create future leaders throughout the United States.”
