Every historic site needs giving to be easy to make and easy to track. Social Good Software adds modern donation and fundraising tools on top of Blackbaud Altru, so preservation and restoration giving flow into the same constituent record as your members and visitors, with no separate donor database to reconcile.
What historic sites need from donation software
For historic sites, giving is tied to everything else, from preservation and restoration giving to the members and visitors who fund the mission. Standalone donation tools capture the gift but strand it away from the member and visit history, leaving staff to export and match. Donation software for a historic site should put the gift on the same record as the donor’s membership and admissions.
Giving on the Altru record
Social Good Software adds donation asks and giving to your on-brand checkout, tied to the Altru constituent record. A ticket buyer or member can give in the same flow, and it all lands in Altru. Explore how we serve historic sites.
