Bell Donor Management Ltd
Bell Donor Management was founded earlier this year with a mission to help charities in what can sometimes be a very complicated field. We are built on over 30 years of combined experience in the charity sector. We provide a specialist service to help charities manage one of their biggest assets, their donors. Our primary focus is with Payroll Giving which can be perceived to be difficult to manage.
Effective donor management, especially with Payroll Giving, can be a large drain on charities’ resources when it is dealt with internally by the individual charity. It requires specialist software and dedicated staff with a strong understanding of the field to make it work. Without effective donor management, charities can literally be throwing money away.
We believe that by out-sourcing this critical process, your organisation can focus on your primary objectives and reduce your own administration cost.
Payroll Giving Special Interest Group
