For Tributes clients, what challenges were you trying to overcome with your purchase of Tributes?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get a sense of the many reasons an organization might need a product like Tributes. I'd like to hear from you concerning the specific challenges you were facing when you decided to purchase Tributes. I imagine that the challenges include:

• We had a wide variety of constituencies that wanted to show their support for us in a more public fashion than simply making a donation, and other products were too specific to fit the needs of many of the constituencies. For example, we had recipients of our programs/services, the friends and families of the recipients, program operators, and general citizens passionate about our mission, and special events were not applicable to all of these groups.

• We had successfully engaged our constituents but needed a different way to up the ante on their enagement

• We needed a way to let the most passionate supporters work on our behalf all year round, not just in event season

• We are a multi-affiliate organization, and not all of our affiliates needed/wanted to use TeamRaiser to empower constituents to have personal fundraising efforts

• Our constituents typically have very inspirational stories to tell and we needed a way to let our constituents tell their stories in a more scalabel fashion than StoryBuilder

Please comment on any of the above, or feel free to communicate your own reasons.

Wow, sure is quiet in here.

We purchased Tributes some time ago, but are just now beginning to implement it.

We are a cancer advocacy organization that does not specifically do events, but folks frequently contact us and want to have a form for donations to us that they can customize. We also wanted to give our advocates an opportunity to build some community while fundraising for us.
