Continuous Improvement

Cooperstock Software has continuously improved DONATION since its first release. See the Revision History page in the program's Help, or check the online revision history for details.

Our vision for the the program is that it primarily tracks charitable donors and donations, and issues receipts. Some requested enhancements, such as tracking memberships, major fundraising features, more general church or organization administration, or turning it into a full accounting system, are beyond the intent of this software.

Calling Advisors and Beta Testers!

Cooperstock Software relies on beta testers, who try out work-in-progress versions of DONATION, to make it successful for all users. We also consult advisors with questions about the business, and questions about directions we should take in program development.

To join our beta testing and advisory groups, check out the blog and subscribe to the update notification service. You'll help make DONATION a better product.

Possible Improvements

Here are changes to DONATION under considation:

• Handling fiscal years (or receipting years) that are different from the calendar year
• Changing the program to run without needing a Windows Administrator account
• Mail-merged email correspondence
• Possibly, a web-based version of DONATION
