Zuri Group

If you’re lucky enough to have in-house developers who solve problems through code, it’s important to establish an effective environment for them to work in. According to a recent study, software developers spend only 32% of their time writing new code or improving existing code, revealing some major opportunities for improving operational efficiencies within the development cycle. Here at Zuri Group, our developers are constantly coding enhancements and workarounds for software systems such as Blackbaud CRM, and over the years we’ve adopted a handful of best practices for development environments to ensure efficiency, cohesiveness, and satisfaction across our development team. Once you’ve established an effective environment for your developers to build in, it’s imperative for them to have a place to test the shiny new customizations against your organization

Not only is crowdfunding a fun way to raise money for your organization, but also it’s a great way to engage with potential donors outside of your donor list. But in our experience, to get the biggest bang for your buck, combine your campaign with a holiday, an anniversary, or an awareness month that’s relevant to your mission. One of our favorite times to kick-off crowdfunding campaigns is with a special anniversary such as your organization’s founding date, milestone anniversaries (we’ve all seen celebrations around 10 years of excellence or 60 years of support), or even your Founder’s birthday! Activating a pop-up window to announce your campaign to any new site visitors for the duration of your campaign is a great way to promote it.
