Non Profit Management Contact Management
Constituent Management
The contact management area of Honor allows you to enter not only demographic information for your contacts but information regarding how they are involved in your ministry. Once you enter this information it is very easy to ask the system to "show me a list of everyone who is on our newsletter list", "show me everyone who is a mechanic" and so forth.
Not only does Honor Roll give you the flexibility to categorize or "group" your constituents, it also provides custom fields, to keep track of information that your ministry needs, but that Honor Roll does not have as a standard field.
If you have your current contact information in a spreadsheet you can use the Import facility to quickley get that information into Honor Roll. We can also write custom conversion programs to get your data from another system into Honor Roll.
Many of your day to day tasks probably involve communicating with your constituents, whether it is sending an email asking for help, writing an appeal letter, or sending out newsletters. Honor Roll can help you streamline all these tasks.
Honor Roll includes a built in word processor. This makes it incredibly easy to create mail merge letters that include information from the database. Once you have composed a letter, you can save it in the database and use it again later. If you prefer to use Word, you can export the contact information from Honor Roll, and do the mail merge in Word.
You can also send emails directly from Honor Roll. You can send an email to a single person from within their record, or you can send mass emails from a list of people. Please note this is a plain text email program. If you need html emails, you can export the contact information and send them through Outlook or Mac Mail.
You can also create mailing labels from within Honor Roll. The Avery 5160/8160 format is easily printed from the Reports menu. But you can also create your own Labels through the custom labelwriter.
