Sherbrooke, April 27, 2015 – ACCEO Solutions, a Quebec company specializing in information technology, and CIBLE stratégique, a marketing communication agency, are launching the Donna interactive suite, a new tool for managing online donations and fundraising campaigns. Foundations and charitable organizations can now manage their fundraising projects using an all-in-one platform which brings together the full range of tools needed for campaign promotion, collection of donations, donor relationship management, secure online payment, and much more. The two companies aim to offer cutting-edge technology which will allow charities and foundations here and elsewhere to hold more efficient and more cost-effective fundraising campaigns.

A TOOL DESIGNED TO HELP MORE

With Donna, a tool developed and designed in Quebec, charitable organizations will find it much easier to run their fundraising campaigns. This characteristic, the tool’s developers hope, will enable these organizations to collect more donations. “We’re not just launching a tool that will simplify the fundraising process for organizations; we also want to make it possible to help even more people together,” underscores Doryne Bourque, a vice-president at ACCEO Solutions.

The Donna suite fills a desperate need. In today’s economic climate, many non-profit organizations (NPOs) are facing budget cuts and downsizing; this forces them to optimize their processes and fundraising campaigns in order to collect the donations they need to meet their objectives. Donna stands out from the crowd thanks not only to its competitive cost, but also to a team of communications and technology experts who are available to provide non-profits with helpful fundraising advice. Donna also ensures that NPOs are working with tools which meet their specific needs.

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Some of Donna’s key features include its optimized system for peer-to-peer funding, an integrated tool for sharing fundraising campaigns on social media, and its customizable interface, which can be modelled on a campaign’s aesthetic. In addition, Donna is based on a responsive online platform, which means that the user experience is unaffected regardless of whether Donna is accessed from a computer or from a mobile device. “I think that Donna is a solution which will let organizations save time and carry out optimal fundraising campaigns,” explains Nathalie Ashby, president of CIBLE stratégique. In short, Donna is a turnkey solution which brings together all the services needed by charitable organizations and foundations.

LET’S HELP MORE – TOGETHER

The Donna interactive suite will be officially launched at the annual APGP (Association des professionnels en gestion philanthropique [Association of Philanthropic Management Professionals]) conference, which is taking place on May 4 and 5, 2015, in Drummondville. In order to give an extra boost to Donna’s slogan, “Let’s Help More – Together,” ACCEO Solutions, CIBLE stratégique, and Desjardins will be giving away an award worth over $40 000. This award includes a one-year Donna package, a custom-made fundraising campaign, the creation of a microsite, and much more. In addition, Desjardins is offering the award recipient a $5000 start-up fund. “Supporting the community is one of our values, and we’re very pleased to be providing this amount to enable the foundation selected to start off its fundraising campaign on the right foot,” says Chantal Ferland, Monetico marketing director at Desjardins Card Services. Quebecois NPOs interested in the award are encouraged to apply online as of May 4 (www.suitedonna.com/bourse).
