The StratusLIVE Difference(s)

Choosing a nonprofit CRM and donor management solution is a pretty big deal. We get it. To help with your decision making process, here are some of the more notable reasons a growing number of nonprofits are choosing us.

the why

Most of us at StratusLIVE are from the nonprofit sector. We lived and breathed your missions, struggled to achieve the same goals. And at the end of the day, we were always left wondering why the for-profit sector enjoyed better tools.

the what

Most nonprofits already use the same world-class technology as the Fortune 500 – but it’s on the desktop. So what if we built a complete nonprofit CRM solution directly onto the Microsoft brand that already powers your day-to-day operations? (Hint: we did)

the how

By combining our insider’s knowledge of nonprofit operational needs, our BFF relationship with Microsoft, and an eye toward where technology is going, we built a complete, cloud-based nonprofit CRM solution that is tailor-made for organizations like yours.

the unusual

We don’t outsource anything to anyone, ever – this makes for fast, pain-free system implementations. Same goes for our customer service. We’re built on Microsoft rather than a closed system. And we only answer to our customers, not Wall Street.

As CEO/Executive Director, you juggle identifying measurable engagement, reaching and engaging donors while managing costs and enabling collaboration among your staff… that’s a hefty load! With StratusLIVE 365, you can leverage the comprehensive platform and our customer success team to identify data trends and view donor data holistically. This information will empower your staff to dramatically cut costs and interact with donors in a personalized manner – leaving you time to work within the communities you impact.

StratusLIVE 365 can help you achieve your mission with:

  • Consolidated, 360-degree views of your donors by history, activity, demographics, data enrichment, and more
  • Business analytics to inform and guide your strategic decisions
  • Social media, email, web, and direct response marketing and engagement tools to expand your reach
  • Improved efficiencies and cost reductions through the elimination of outdated or unwanted legacy systems and automation of manual processes
  • Consolidated donor and constituent management platform that empowers team members to do their jobs faster, more creatively, and more productively

As a CIO, you are often getting pushed from your CEO and the board to get on with digital transformation but without much budget to do it!  You are wrestling with disparate systems while trying to put software and data at the center of the company.  You need a digital ecosystem that provides the highest security and system performance while driving efficient operations.

With StratusLIVE 365, you will have a platform view of your business that emphasizes the value of internal and external connections. Our platform is built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, the industry’s leading cloud-based application architecture. With a focus on scalability, security and redundancy, the same robust infrastructure that delivers Office 365 to over 150 million world-wide users is delivering your next generation CRM and donor management solution. Embedded data analytics and intelligence are available natively in the platform to make reporting and decision-making painless. There are no complex integrations. We provide the  methodology to plan your strategy, build (deployment) and run (execute) your programs in the most efficient manner. This allows you to align your IT spend to corporate objectives and efficiently manage capital for maximum ROI.

Your role as Development Director has its own unique challenges… not to mention the pressure from your leadership team to meet your organization’s yearly giving targets. It’s difficult to reach and acquire new donors and deliver consistent, personalized messaging while utilizing disparate technology systems, so we’ve centralized the task on one modern platform. Cultivate major gift opportunities with the most advanced enrichment and prospect scoring capabilities available.  With StratusLIVE’s process automation, many of these daily tasks that fall to the wayside are completed efficiently without lifting a finger including optimizing the performance of renewals and appeals with predictive analytics and machine learning.  With this integrated automation and email marketing system in place, you will have more time to connect one-on-one with donors. And your users can work where they’re most comfortable: mobile devices, desktop browsers or from the familiar Microsoft Outlook application.

In today’s media landscape, it’s challenging for nonprofit organizations to stand out in the noise. Your job as Marketing Director involves increasing brand awareness so that your community and donors actively engage in your organization’s efforts. This can sometimes feel as if you’re shouting in a crowded room. We get it… that’s why we developed features within StratusLIVE to streamline marketing automation, identify social influencers, and leverage direct marketing and predictive analytics. When you adopt our tool, you and your team will deliver consistent messaging utilizing a complete donor database, empower your followers to receive communications on their terms, and create meaningful connections with your contributors. No megaphone required.

As Event Manager, you are challenged with increasing participation and then turning participants into members and donors. You need a platform that helps you coordinate the myriad of details for your various fundraising events while supporting effective event promotion strategies and event ticket delivery methods. You need accurate real-time reporting to provide you with critical event metrics and budget updates. Moreover, you want to be able to attach event activity directly to the constituent record. You need a platform that allows you to identify and segment target audiences and really personalize your ask.

With StratusLIVE 365, you get a fully integrated solution. You can manage your event details AND automatically attach this information to the constituent records. You have a full range of segmentation and personalization options. Email marketing tools allow you to send the right communication at the right time to the right people. You can create ‘dance cards’ which tell you who’s who in the room. We make it easy to identify and offer VIP experiences and communicate benefits and perks of becoming a member or a donor before, during, and after an event.

As Grant Manager, you are responsible for managing the grant process, tracking community impact outcomes and maintaining compliance. Oh yeah, you also need to report to your leadership and board.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to build a single source of truth about all grantmaking activities?  Would you like the ability to leverage workflows to enforce processes that ensure compliance? How about the ability to automate the process and rely on system controls?  Sound too good to be true?

With StratusLIVE 365, you can have a single source for all activities.  We offer real-time, configurable reporting including dashboards with pre-built KPIs.  We offer compliance workflows including a built-in audit trail, integration with Guidestar and IRS and OFAC checking.   StratusLIVE provides a fully automated end to end grants process.

All this means stronger communication with leadership and with grantees, less time preparing for audits, and increased efficiency throughout the grantmaking process.

Your funders trust you as a program officer to deliver and report upon your organization’s mission-critical work. But how can you focus on the big picture, when you’re bogged down in manual data entry and database maintenance? You may even be working with the wrong data that is delivered to you inconsistently and late. You can’t compare the data apples to apples, so you struggle to successfully track outcomes and report program results to your team, board, and the public. Your work is supposed to be meaningful, but it’s just a drag.

With StratusLIVE’s powerful solution, you can set program objectives and budgets, manage program activities and projects, track and allocate designated funding and gifts to appropriate funds and programs, and report on program outcomes. You can leverage historical data modeling and manage your portfolios to make proactive adjustments, so you can reach program goals. You can confidently report upon your work as it corresponds with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and complies with IATI. All this provides you with the satisfaction that your work drives real change.

As CFO, you are knee-deep in numbers all day long. You need to trust your CRM to provide you with real and reliable constituent and programmatic data as you administer strict oversight of budgeting, compliance, and financial processing. Utilizing our powerful CRM solution will offer incredible insights into your fundraising campaigns and overall financial wellbeing. With our integration with your existing sub and general banking ledgers, you will gather and report on every donation (cash, credit card, ACH, pledge, in-kind) no matter the tool (online, event, phone, postal mail). Planning and forecasting will be made much more easily as you match short-term expenses with long-term goals. Through the utilization of the StratusLIVE 365, you will align finance and programs, enabling mission-critical work.
