Always know where donors are in their giving journey and maximize giving by effectively re-targeting prospective donors. Whether they

Why ChalkBooks?
Are you experiencing a more challenging fundraising environment?
Current economic downturn and continued downward pressure on donor retention are making it a very challenging fundraising environment for school Advancement teams.
At the same time, constituents are expecting schools to provide a modern donor experience and communicate with them in the way that they want to be communicated to (right way, right time, right cadence, and right information).
School Advancement teams are operating on constrained budgets with growing fundraising needs to upgrade aging buildings and help support increasing annual operating budgets.
And with all of these challenges already making the job hard, school Advancement teams are having to get by with (often expensive) generic fundraising software (Advancement CRM, Donation forms, etc) coupled with Excel or Google Sheets since the existing software doesn’t work exactly in the way that you do.
You are having to spend hours per week outside of your Advancement CRM which takes up precious time – time you could be using talking with high value donors.
Isn’t it time for a change?
