Donor Management & Data Security

A St. Petersburg nonprofit needed to protect donor records, improve grant tracking reliability, and give volunteers secure access to coordination systems.

Donor Data

Encrypted & Access-Controlled

Grant Tracking

More Reliable Reporting

Volunteers

Secure Remote Coordination

The Challenge

A St. Petersburg nonprofit stored donor records and grant information on shared spreadsheets and a single office computer. Volunteer coordination relied on email, and there was no clear process for who could access what — or what would happen if the office computer failed.

  • Donor records on spreadsheets with no access controls or encryption
  • Grant tracking in disconnected documents — easy to miss deadlines or duplicate entries
  • Volunteers shared login credentials to access coordination systems
  • No backups — a single hardware failure could lose years of donor history
  • Uncertainty about meeting funder data-protection expectations

With a major fundraising campaign and several grant applications approaching, they needed dependable systems and clearer data governance.
