R E A D M E . T X T FundRaiser Basic Version 1.40 (09/01/95) μμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμ FundRaiser Basic is a VERY easy to learn and use donor management program that is designed for small non-profits and those new to fundraising and/or computers. Here are the tools you need to fundraise like a real professional. In one simple and easy session, you can record donations, make address changes, code donors, print timely thank you letters and labels (with the built-in word processor), and print a deposit report - all without having to leave the program! Targeted mailings are a snap, as are the impressive and useful reports. FundRaiser Basic sports an easy-to-use (yet powerful) importing facility, so you can move your existing mailing list right into FundRaiser Basic, without having to re-enter everything. This newest version adds exporting capabilities, a new merge function for an end-of-year letter, some report changes, automatic integrity checking of your data, and a pop-up calculator. Enjoy! μμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμ Minimum Requirements: Any PC with 510k of available RAM, with DOS 3.1 or higher.
