## Imagine the possibilities if your database were truly a vehicle to deepen relationships with your organization’s donors.

### The problem is, many databases just plain suck.

They get in the way of donor relationships because of unreliable data, difficult processes, and rigid technology.

### But there's hope!

Your database doesn't have to suck. It can enable your organization to connect with givers in new and more meaningful ways. It can provide a greater understanding of how to engage your donors more personally. And your database can serve to grow your fundraising efforts—and not get in the way.

# In this e-book, we will uncover the four reasons why everyone’s database sucks:

- ### Perception
  
  Frequently people are confused about what it is and what it does.
- ### People
  
  Without people in the right places doing the right things, your database likely sucks.
- ### Process
  
  Setting your organization up for success involves not just *what you do* or *who is doing it* but also *how you do it*.
- ### Platform
  
  Not all databases are created equal. Not all organizational needs are the same. Having the correct tool for the job is vital.

We will also provide some practical guidance on how you can use your database to provide data-rich insights so your team can focus on stewarding donors and moving your mission forward.
