<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Mr. Campbell,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I believe there's been a misunderstanding about MCPB's DonorPerfect</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>software. According to your General Manager's Report, it doesn't allow</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>MCPB to communicate with members by email. You can find that report</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.kzyx.org/Board/KZYX%20State%20of%20the%20Station%20Report%20November%202015.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.kzyx.org/Board/KZYX%20State%20of%20the%20Station%20Report%20November%202015.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>There's a report by the Nonprofit Technology Network here:</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.rockford.edu/media/rockfordedu/pages/campusandcommunity/centerfornonprofitexcellence/docs/10-29-2013_idealware_donor_m.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.rockford.edu/media/rockfordedu/pages/campusandcommunity/centerfornonprofitexcellence/docs/10-29-2013_idealware_donor_m.pdf</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>A chart of recommendations can be found on page 28. Showing that</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>DonorPerfect's email feature is rated 'Excellent'. The price for up to</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>5,000 members is only $154 a month.
