If fundraising or fund accounting is important to your organization, you must evaluate our software. It is an outstanding combination of substance and artistry, or, as some would say, function and form.

Computerizing your organization can provide you with the tools and information necessary to survive in today's competitive climate. Automating with Executive Data Systems, Inc.'s non-profit software will provide you with several important benefits:

• Integration with Microsoft Office--Word, Excel, Outlook and Access,
• Compliance with FASB 116 and 117,
• Donor receipts according to IRS requirements,
• Instant access to vital financial information and/or donor data,
• Revenue/expense comparisons to current period, year-to-date, annual and project/grant budgets,
• Project/grant reports for any time period,
• Automatic allocations of vendor invoices, employer's taxes and employee's wages/fringes to projects/grants,
• Purchase orders on demand,
• Encumbrance reports for divisions, departments, locations, projects, programs and/or grants,
• Flexible prospect/donor selections for lists, labels and export to word processing,
• Cash requirements forecasts for paying bills,
• Printing checks, statements, gift receipts and pledge reminders at any time and
• Hundreds of management information reports.

There are hundreds of accounting software packages on the market. In any computer store there may be a dozen or more brands. Some of these are expensive and others are quite inexpensive. Almost always, however, they share a common trait--they are written for business accounting.

Non-profits are required to follow fund accounting principles. Unless software is specifically designed for fund accounting and fund raising, it is not likely to be efficient or effective for non-profit applications! True fund accounting and fund raising software will serve your needs long into the future. Business accounting software--at any price--is unlikely to supply the reports you need or integrate with your fundraising software. Also, mailing list software, contact managers, and sales databases do not capture or report the types of data non-profits deed in their fundraising activities.

Price is an important consideration, but you should never confuse the price of software with the cost of software! The price is a one-time expense. Using software will cost you time and money forever. For example, you incur added expenses every month if you have to transfer accounting data to spreadsheets to produce your non-profit reports. The object, therefore, is to minimize future costs and maximize time and money savings. With our Fund Accounting Software Series and Donor Records, you do just that.

Most non-profits--even small ones--require financial statements that are very different from those of a commercial business. Our Fund Accounting/ Fundraising software is designed to automatically produce non-profit financial statements, project/grant reports and donor giving histories. Your answers to the following questions will help decide how your organization can benefit from true non-profit software.

1. Do you raise funds from individuals and/or corporations?
2. Do you segregate your monies into funds?
3. Do you need to generate separate financial statements for each fund, project, program and/or grant?
4. Do your grants/contracts have reporting periods different from your own fiscal year?
5. Do you need financial statements with a functional classification of expenses?
6. Do you have temporarily or permanently restricted assets and unrestricted assets?
7. Does your organization use purchase orders and/or encumber funds for purchases?
8. Are employees' wages distributed to multiple projects, programs and/or grants by dollars, hours or percents?
9. Are budget comparisons a major element of your financial reporting?
10. Does your organization allocate expenses (rent, office supplies, etc.) to multiple projects, programs and/or grants?
11. Are you required to maintain multiple checking accounts?
12. Do you have to comply with FASB 116 and 117?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you are likely to realize substantial efficiencies with true fund accounting/fundraising software. The more times you answered "Yes", the more benefits you will derive from our software. If you answered "Yes" to the first and last questions, true fund accounting/ fundraising software is essential to efficient accounting and reporting in your organization.

Executive Data Systems, Inc. is one of the largest suppliers of microcomputer software for non-profit organizations in the United States. Our Fund Accounting and Fundraising is currently in use by almost all types of non-profit organizations, including:

• Voluntary health and welfare (social service),
• Community action/economic development,
• Private schools and universities,
• Professional and trade associations,
• Churches and other religious organizations,
• United Ways,
• College and university foundations,
• Libraries and museums,
• Zoological and historical societies,
• Research/scientific organizations,
• Performing arts organizations and
• State and local government units.

Our General Ledger meets the rigorous standards required by government and private regulatory bodies and the AICPA. Our Fundraising software complies fully with IRS requirements for donor receipts.

Executive Data Systems, Inc. is one of the few companies with fully integrated fundraising and fund accounting software for non-profits. With few exceptions, however, each module in our software can stand alone and can be purchased separately. That is, you can purchase as many or as few modules as you need to satisfy your fundraising, fund accounting and management reporting requirements. Of course, you can always add new modules as the need arises!

We have many non-profit organizations who use both our Donor Records and our Fund Accounting software. The reason we developed Donor Records was to satisfy the needs of our Fund Accounting users who wanted fully integrated fundraising and fund accounting software. They like the "single source" solution to their fundraising and fund accounting software needs.

We have a substantial number of users who have only our Donor Records software. Their accounting needs are usually handled by an outside accounting firm, a volunteer or some other entity, e.g., a United Way.

We also have many non-profits who have only our accounting software. These users have from one to twelve of our accounting modules depending on their needs. Generally, they either do no public fundraising or their fundraising is handled by a different department in the organization. Oftentimes, they will bring in fundraising data to our General Ledger with our General Ledger Import module.

We realize that there are alliances between other fund accounting and fundraising software companies. They often claim "seamless" integration between their packages. Usually, this involves writing a file to disk to share data. There should be no problems when all goes exactly as planned; however, you should be aware of the following considerations:

• When one or the other of the companies changes versions, integration may be temporarily unavailable.
• As has happened in the past, a "falling out" can terminate integration.
• If something goes wrong with your integration, you may have to contact both companies and endure the inevitable finger pointing.
• Incompatible date routines may cause YEAR 2000 problems.

While we are not claiming that any of these problems do exist, the potential is certainly there. You should investigate fully any claim of integration by different fund accounting and fundraising software companies.

In our view, of course, the way to avoid such problems is to purchase fully integrated fundraising and fund accounting software from a single company. And, as we said previously, Executive Data Systems, Inc. is one of the few companies to offer both types of software. We are the only company to offer two versions of fully integrated fundraising and fund accounting software -- with the ability to upgrade easily without losing any money or any data.

This service lets you produce your own financial statements with the General Ledger in record time...and we do most of the work! We will set up your chart of accounts for a nominal charge and return the data files to you. Your very first financial statements will give you the information you need for donors, sponsors and your Board!

If you have one of our trial General Ledger packages, we will set up a "skeleton" chart of accounts for you at no charge so that you can work with your data! You can also import vendor name and address data into accounts payable with the included import program. It is easy to "try before you buy".

Donor Records includes a program to import names and addresses. To convert more extensive donor data from another database or fundraising software, we offer an Import Module for all primary donor data. Both modules read an ASCII file and creat donor records in our data files.

If you wish, we can convert your donor data for you. We have completed conversions from most major fundraising packages on th market and from numerous "custom" packages. We will be happy to give you a quote on the data conversion services.

Every non-profit software company claims that its software is "easy-to-use". Ours really is. Compare our support prices with those of other fund accounting and fundraising software. If our software were not easy-to-use, we would have to charge as much as they do!

We provide technical support by a special toll-free 800 number. Every member of our support department has an accounting degree and fundraising experience! Many users tell us that we give the best support they have ever received from any software company.

Your initial support is FREE for 30 days. You also get one hour of FREE telephone training for each module purchased. Additional telephone training is available at any time. We offer regularly scheduled training courses in Marietta, GA.

During the initial 90 days, all purchasers receive updates at no charge. After 90 days, updates are FREE to users having an annual support contract. Others may purchase updates for a nominal charge.

Try fully-functional trial versions of the programs you need. With them, you are guided step-by-step through entering transactions and printing reports using our sample data files. If you wish, you can create your own data files and process your data. You can experience the ease and speed with which your accounting functions can be completed.

Words can only convey the "what" of our software. You must experience the "how" for yourself. A few minutes with our demos can pave the way for you to:

• Raise more money for only your organization,
• Save time on your accounting and fundraising,
• Achieve better, more timely financial reporting,
• Produce multi-fiscal year project/grant reports automatically by menu selection and
• Save money on your next audit.

While this may seem "too good to be true", you can speak with our users who will assure you it is true.
