Gift and fund backup

  • 1.  Gift and fund backup

    Posted 12 days ago
    Good morning,
    We are trying to take a fresh look at how we store gift backup and scans of fund agreements. Currently, we use PaperSave on Raiser's Edge (database/class view).
    Also, are your users of your CRM accustomed to accessing these documents? (And do you give them access to do so?)

    I can respond to the last question, only.

    If someone has access to your giving records within the CRM, then they should also have access to the corresponding backup (gift/pledge/endowment agreement). Those users have already signed a confidentiality or Data Aquisition and Use Policy. There should not be anything in those documents they cannot see.

    However, you may consider drawing the line on access to prospect development material - but those should be stored elsewhere and protected by security controls.

    We recently transitioned to LawVu for collaboration, storage, and process flow for donor agreements and all other contracts. It also has DocuSign integration built in, so we've largely gone paperless as a result. It's been a great improvement for our DOs and legal team, as well as donors and campus partners. We did need to do some heavy customization however, so it comes with a significant cost. 

    LawVu also allows pretty refined control of user access on a per-document or document category basis, so we can control who accesses and can edit them.
