Templates for Nonprofit

[Guest]

Hello. I work for a small affordable housing and homelessness prevention
nonprofit. I have been assigned the task of creating a database to contain
our donors, contact, donations and events. I found many business related
templates, but have been unsuccessful in finding one specifically for
nonprofits. Do you know any other resources for such a template? I am
finding it to be difficult to design it myself. They did not teach me this
in social work school and it turns out that I'm too dumb for Access for
Dummies.
Thanks for your help!

To Steve:
No-one wants your advertising/job hunting here!
'Resource ???? 1175 users ???? Are you kidding ????
==>> You mean that 1175 users have been spammed by you ??

To the original poster:
Most people here have a common belief that the newsgroups are for *free exchange of information*.
But Steve is a notorious job hunter in these groups, always trying to sell his services.

He is known here as a *shameless liar*, with *no ethics at all*.
If you provided a valid email address he might even spam you with an offer for payed help

Before you intend to do business with him look at:
http://home.tiscali.nl/arracom/whoissteve.html
Over 925 !! users (rapidly increasing..) from the newsgroups have visited the website to read about this fake 'resource'

Were my suggested tables helpful?

 

[Larry Linson]

Were my suggested tables helpful?

PC Datasheet
Your Resource For Help With Access, Excel And Word Applications
Over 1175 users have come to me from the newsgroups requesting help
(e-mail address removed)

Serious suggestion, Steve: Why don't you consolidate your business name and
description, something like,

PC Datasheet -- contract assistance with Access, Excel and Word

and eliminate the "Over 1175 users... " line.

That would only leave a couple of SIG lines of business contact information,
and perhaps it would stop the very persistent "followup" posts (which can't
be very helpful in your getting business).

Will do!!!

How about --
PC Datasheet
Fee Based Help With Access, Excel And Word Applications

I will use this in all newsgroups I post to.

Steve

BTW, I will soon be at 1250 users.

 

[Arno R]

Will do!!!

How about --

Good idea !! Some wisdom at last ??

BTW, I will soon be at 1250 users.

How about that idiot pal of yours, John Marshall? Did you check with him if
it is OK?

Will do!!!

Arno does not have to check with me, he is old enough and mature enough to
make up his own mind. You on the other hand are not. I have only commented
on your sig when you posted erroneous information or directly requested the
OP to contact you. So involving me in this discussion, is just another of
your smoke and mirror campaigns. I am very sceptical that you have turned
over a new leaf and are going to start to behave.

So far, you are the only A$teve$antos in these newsgroups.

John... Visio MVP

 

[Steve]

No surprise!

All anyone has to say is the word "IDIOT" and up you pop like a no-brain
puppet of Arno R.

Let's try another phrase and see if it makes you popup too --
You are nothing but a "Stupid A$$"

 

[John Marshall, MVP]

In other words, you have no plans of respecting the participants of these
newsgroup.

John... Visio MVP

 

[Steve]

Most participants in these newsgroups are very good people and I have the
utmost respect for them. There are a handful of participants I have no
respect for. There is one participant who is nothing but a Stupid A$$ who
makes a fool of himself, makes no contribution to this newsgroup and is an
embarassment to what MVP stands for. Did someone say "Stupid A$$"? Dollars
to donuts, that will make you popup again!!

 

[John Marshall, MVP]

So insulting people who ask you to refrain from solicting or call you on
your wrong answers is your form of respect?

As to no contributions, you already know that is not true. Or have you
forgotten that I had to give a user a proper example of an outer join after
you gave a totally erroneous answer?

More school yard games? "I dare you to cross this line!" Sorry stevie, I
have more important things to do than play your childish games. So for now,
I am finished with this thread. I'll just wait for the next time you step
out of line and from experience, that should not take too long.

John... Visio MVP

 

[Steve]

Let's just see how finished you are ---

Idiot, Stupid A$$

??? Will the real John Marshall please stand up.

 

[Larry Daugherty]

With our troubles here did your original post ever receive an answer?

I have something that may be of use to you. If you'd like to try it
then take the ".NoSpam" out of my address and send me an email with
the name and address and phone number of your organization.

Try your local community college, Computer Information System
department. Any DataBase/Access student looking for experience may be
willing to help ... maybe even for free.

KWiley,

Save yourself a lot of trouble and purchase one of the commercial
products especially designed for nonprofits. Decent systems start for
$300-$400 and have all the options you require. Do a google search on
"nonprofit software" or "nonprofit databases" or go to the Chronicle
of Philanthropy (it is a publication specifically for nonprofits) web
site to find almost anything you need.

If you do not know how to code, you will, in all likelyhood, not be
able to design something that will do all you need and/or be reliable.

Alternatively, you should take Larry up on his offer.
