Software Company Finds Growth in Canadian Nonprofit Market

Heritage Designs, LLC releases MatchMaker FundRaising Software Canadian Edition

Heritage Designs, LLC, a leader in fundraising software for the nonprofit sector, introduces the release of MatchMaker FundRaising Software Canadian Edition.  The Canadian Edition was developed and designed to meet the specific needs of nonprofit agencies in Canada, including automatic receipt numbering, address formatting and cultural labeling.

“MatchMaker FundRaising Software addresses the specific needs of Canadian nonprofits,” said Diana V. Hoyt, president of Heritage Designs.  “Additionally, its introduction to the market represents a unique opportunity for Canadian nonprofits to enhance their capacity for fundraising without the high overhead, heavy footprint, and complex implementation normally associated with this type of enterprise solution.”

In early 2010, Pacifica Housing Advisory Association in Victoria, British Columbia, became the first Canadian Edition beta test site.

“We have been extremely pleased with MatchMaker FundRaising Software,” said Karyn French, Executive Director of Pacifica Housing Advisory Association. “Our staff is able to effectively manage donor information and generate critical reports for Pacifica’s stakeholders.”

Heritage Designs’ clients include hospitals, colleges and schools, library foundations and social service organizations, such as domestic violence shelters, food banks and more.

“Our clients, both in the United States and Canada, are seeing an increase in donations this year,” said Hoyt. “We want to ensure that they have a robust tool that can complement their fundraising strategies and yet is flexible enough to meet the changes in the evolving fundraising landscape.”
