Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City selects MicroEdge
New York, NY — May 27, 2005 - MicroEdge|NPO Solutions, a division of MicroEdge Inc., the leading provider of software and services for the philanthropic community, announced today that the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City has selected Foundation Information Management System (FIMS) to connect their donors, funds and organizations in a more cohesive manner.
Chosen for its proven track record and specialized design for community foundations, FIMS provides the foundation with powerful donor development tools that enhance donor relations and facilitate more strategic communication. In particular, the donor tracking components enable the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City to easily track contacts with donors and to classify them according to their areas of interest, allowing them to more effectively match donors and charities.
“FIMS has enabled us to build profiles of our donors and their interests, making it possible to have more meaningful, targeted communications with our donors,” states Kevin Taylor, Controller for the Foundation. “For example, FIMS allows us to link people, funds and organizations together—to look up an individual donor’s name and to have a complete history of the funds associated with the donor and the types of organizations that have been issued grants from those funds.”
FIMS is the premier software for financial and constituent management for community foundations, faith-based foundations and educational endowment organizations worldwide. Nearly 85% of the community foundation industry assets worldwide are managed using FIMS integrated information management system.
“We have been working with foundations like JCF for over 20 years. It is great to continue our core work with organizations to help them consolidate their daily operational activities into one integrated foundation information management system,” says Mike Church, Solutions Advisor and founding member of NPO Solutions.
The Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Kansas City serves as the focal point for planned giving and to enhance and promote the continuity of the Jewish community through a broad range of innovative and charitable programs. In the past year, the Jewish Community Foundation and its donors provided more than $9.3 million in much needed support to more than 475 organizations, groups and agencies in Kansas City and around the world.
