About Us
Strengthening nonprofits
Mission Research, the maker of GiftWorks®, is a team of people who are passionate about helping nonprofits. We make fundraising software that's powerful, intuitive, easy to use and affordable. And we stand behind it.
Software is about solving problems, some of which aren't technical at all. Along the way, we've worked closely with some great nonprofits and learned lots, while developing truly innovative technology. Through it all, we've created a sustainable business, selling great software for nonprofits at a fair price, so you can invest more money in your mission and less on technology.
We really love working with nonprofits—it's a privilege and honor to work with people like you who are working to improve the world. Be sure to check out our blog to stay informed on fundraising news and best practices.
The GiftWorks Team
The GiftWorks team is made up of hard working and caring individuals who have a heart for nonprofit organizations and a passion for making great software. For the past 7 years, our focus has been giving nonprofits the software and tools needed to accomplish their mission. Every day, the salespeople, software developers, customer support representatives, and every other member of the team work hard to get GiftWorks into the hands of nonprofits and help them to use GiftWorks to advance their cause, raise money, and accomplish their goals.
Many members of the GiftWorks team donate their time, effort, and other resources to nonprofits in Lancaster, PA and the surrounding area. We trust that our efforts, in cooperation with nonprofits around the world, can impact our generation and generations to come.
Our Guiding Principles
Make it easy.
Most software is too hard to use. Software shouldn't require extensive training on how to use it. We made GiftWorks easy to use with obvious tasks written in plain English, yet powerful enough to greatly simplify fundraising and donor management tasks that typically took a lot of time, like mail merges. We accomplished our goal. Sections are on top; things you can do are on the left; help is on the right and follows you where you go.
Simple.
Make it affordable.
Most software for nonprofits is way too expensive. With other solutions costing tens of thousands of dollars, many organizations end up using Excel, Access or some other unwieldy, inefficient approach. GiftWorks offers an affordable solution, starting at $549 per computer. No surprises, no hidden costs. You don't have to buy support (though you can for a modest monthly fee). You don't have to buy training because it's so easy to learn.
You just get great software at a great price. GiftWorks changes everything.
Make it speak for itself.
