Great Commission Latin America Taps Affinity Connection for Database Management and Donation Processing
November 16, 2010
State College-based Affinity Connection is working with Great Commission Latin America, headquartered in Doral, Fla., to optimize the non-profit’s donor database and streamline its donation processing system. Great Commission Latin America currently serves 35 churches in 9 countries. In addition to church planting, Great Commission Latin America plans, organizes and executes compassion projects and mission trips in Latin American communities.
Great Commission Latin America’s Carlos Garcia said, “We chose Affinity Connection because of their ability to add a critical layer of service and support to their donor database software, and for their expertise in streamlining donation processing for our various funds and initiatives, like mission trips and other projects. Our short-term goal is to also utilize Affinity’s website solution, and eventually direct marketing.”
Database and donation management are critical areas and often present operational obstacles for non-profits and affinity groups. Small staff and limited budgets often result in a struggle to find the time and resources to effectively manage these key areas. Through a strategic partnership, Affinity Connection provides premier donor database software DonorPerfect, and offers a team of specialists to manage implementation of the system and provide ongoing support and expertise to use the software effectively. In addition, Affinity Connection works with Albert Lea, Minn.-based Agilis, a top provider of donation processing services to major non-profit organizations and associations, to offer a full-service donation processing and database management solution.
Affinity Connection CEO Greg Woodman said Affinity Connection uniquely understands that non-profits like Great Commission Latin America need to focus their staff and volunteer time on working toward their mission, not on dealing with administrative headaches. “Our database management and donation processing solutions are geared specifically to achieve this objective. We are thrilled that Great Commission Latin America has chosen us to help them advance their cause.”
Great Commission Latin America is an international Christian organization that serves its affiliated churches through leadership and consultation, promoting and coordinating the planting of new churches. The organization’s mission is to have a growing church in every major city in Latin America, to reach the nations with the Gospel. For more information, go to www.reachinglatinos.com.
