“Winery Donations” Software Package
Just as the sun rises daily in the East, all wineries field requests for donations. The difference is that we don’t have to keep track of the sun. Donation requests, on the other hand, require attention, because most wineries want to assist their favorite worthy causes and make a positive contribution to their communities. And even when a winery elects not to support a particular cause or event, it needs to at least acknowledge the request.
The “Winery Donations” software, derived from 15 years of working with both large and small wineries, covers all needs relative to fielding, responding to, and maintaining an archive of charity requests. The program makes it easy to enter and store donation request information so decision makers can review it and make informed choices.
“Winery Donations” is a stand-alone program that requires no additional operating software, but can be transformed into a fully network-able enterprise system with the addition of Server software. It runs on both Windows and Macintosh operating systems.
The “Winery Donations” software allows wineries to:
- Print and store response letters
- Keep track of requests approved and declined, from year to year
- Store evaluation notes
- Establish and enforce product and staffing requirements for charity events
- Report contributions
- Maintain solicitor contact and location information
- Correspond via e-mail
It may not be as simple as watching the sun rise, but it’s close!
