Fundriver Blog

Our newest product, Fundriver Impact, launches at the end of the month and we couldn’t be any more excited to share it with you!

As I try to explain to my friends and family why I love working for Fundriver, the phrase that seems to best capture my sentiment is this: “I am able to be my authentic self.” 

If you have been following our blog, you’re likely familiar with aspects of our company culture and have seen our core values:

#1. Wellbeing Of Our People : Collaboration + Flexibility

#2. Transparency : Integrity + Trust

#3. Exceptional User Experience : Expertise + Respect

Shifting gears from the business office/endowment accounting side of the house, we want to talk about donor relations and the importance of showing donors the impact of their gifts through reporting.

Fiscal year end is upon many of our clients.  We here at Fundriver have been in your shoes and can totally relate to this intense time of year. 

Over at the Fundriver Help Desk, we see our fair share of support tickets.  (Spoiler alert: we love helping our clients so keep them coming.)  One of the more popular topics our clients reach out about is reconciliation.  We are here to help answer the million-dollar question; where did the cash go?

This is our 16th year in business.  It feels like Fundriver has been in a continuous growth pattern, growing our product, our client base, and our team.  What a wonderful evolution to be part of!  So, where are we now?  Glad you asked!

It’s not about the award 

This year especially, TinyPulse has helped us shape our pandemic response. And the feedback we gathered was certainly not always positive. But it was feedback that helped us learn about where people’s pain points are, what they expect from leadership, what is important to them moving forward, and how Fundriver can help every step of the way.  Read more about part II of this series here!

Soliciting help 

What did we need to do, as a company, to be able to take care of ourselves so that we could be there for our clients, who were struggling with this new world too?  Read more about part I of this series here!

Communication and remote work

2020 was the year that the world learned how to work remotely. Coming up with policies and procedures on the fly, (re)learning how to communicate with each other, not to mention Zooming daily/hourly with coworkers and clients instead of on the rare occasion.
