Thank you for your patience while we upgrade our systems

We’re getting a new database at Futurewise specifically designed to help organizations like ours “engage and change the world.” And while we couldn’t be happier, it is an exacting and complicated process to convert our files to the new format. While this is happening, we’ve had to slow down some of our donor communications to be sure that our record-keeping doesn’t get confused between systems.  If you’ve made a gift to Futurewise recently, we want to thank you for your contribution and your patience.

We’ll be using the sophisticated combo of Salsa Engage + Salsa CRM, an integrated digital platform that streamlines communications for social advocacy, marketing and fundraising.  The system gets great reviews for boosting staff efficiency and for providing the tools to deepen relationships with supporters and achieve our mutual goals.  We can’t wait to Salsa with you!
