DataMend™ is a structured approach to reviewing, repairing, and rebuilding your fundraising database so your team can trust the data, use the system effectively, and make better fundraising decisions.

Most fundraising databases don’t fail because of the software, they struggle because of how they’ve evolved over time.

Staff turnover, changing priorities, inconsistent data entry, and ad hoc processes create systems that are difficult to use and impossible to trust.

DataMend™ is designed to fix that.

We combine a phased data audit with practical improvements to build structure, clarify processes, and align your database with how your organization raises funds.

What We Do

Phase 1: Data Audit & Assessment

We review your database to understand:

• How data is currently structured and used
• Where inconsistencies, risks, and inefficiencies exist
• How well the system supports fundraising strategy

This includes:

• Code table review (Campaign, Fund, Appeal, Actions, etc.)
• Constituent and gift data analysis
• Prospect Management and Opportunity usage
• Reporting and dashboard review
• Identification of risks and gaps

Outcome: A clear, actionable assessment with a SWOT analysis and prioritized opportunities.

Phase 2: Structure, Strategy & Alignment

We work with your team to design a system that works.

This includes:

• Code rationalization and standardization
• Data governance and ownership
• User roles and permissions
• Prospect and Pipeline Management
• Online giving setup and standardization
• Integration review (e.g., finance systems like Business Central)
• Third-party data cleanup recommendations

Outcome: A clean, consistent, and intentional database structure aligned with your fundraising goals.

Phase 3: Training, SOPs & Rollout

We ensure your team can use the system confidently and consistently.

This includes:

• Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Role-based training sessions
• Data entry standards and quality guidelines
• Ongoing support during rollout

Outcome: Staff adoption, consistency, and long-term sustainability.

Phase 4: Ongoing Support & Optimization

We provide continued support to ensure your database remains accurate, consistent, and aligned with your evolving fundraising strategy.

This includes:

• Ongoing data governance support and code management
• Review and refinement of reports and dashboards
• Support for new campaigns, appeals, and initiatives
• Troubleshooting and guidance on data entry and system use
• Periodic data health checks and recommendations
• Support for onboarding new staff and reinforcing standards

Outcome: A sustainable system that evolves with your organization, maintains data quality over time, and continues to support informed fundraising decisions.
