4 steps to find the right database
This course will help you to find the right database
With so many Fundraising and Impact databases available, it’s important to find the right one for you. This guide will take you through step by step.
By the end of this process, you'll come away feeling confident that you've found the right database, knowing that you've saved time, money (and stress!) for the future.
3 options for using the resources, depending on how much support you require from us:
DIY - For those with time and resources to go through the process themselves.
DIY + Guidance - For those wanting some extra support and advice throughout the process. Up to 4 hours of support and advice from Core Insights.
Fully Guided - For those with less time to manage the process, and requiring additional support. Up to 4 days of support and advice from Core Insights.
The resources could be applied to a new fundraising, impact, finance, events, or any other type of data system.
The guide has 4 steps, each step provides resources that you can use with your team to ensure you pick the right database.
By the end of the process, you'll have found the right database for you

Your Guide
I don’t believe data and reporting should be complicated. I also believe that when used properly, good tech can save time and money and reduce stress for organisations. I’m passionate about de-mistifying data and reporting and making it into something everyone can do rather than just ‘techy’ people. I’ve seen so many people in the charity sector go from being afraid of using programmes like excel to being confident in their reporting and abilities!
So, I created 4 guides, with 4 simple steps - well simple once you watch the videos and download the resources! This is not a training course. It’s not a webinar you sign up to, write some notes which get stored away at the bottom of a pile. It’s a course that guides you through step-by-step, with all the resources you need to apply the 4 steps in your organisation, in your own time.
If you need, I’m here to offer support and guidance, or can fully guide you through the process. I’d love to hear how you get on!

FAQs
What’s included in the online guide?
Through a series of videos, you’ll be guided through a 4-step process. At each stage, you’ll watch a short video which explains the step, then there are resources that you can download use with you and the team.
How is this different from a training course?
We’ve spent a lot of time working through processes with charities, helping them to find a database, or producing an impact report. With each of our courses, we guide you through our tried and tested process and offer you resources and guidance along the way.
How long will it take to run through a course?
The course comprises of ‘learning time’ (including watching the video and digesting the resources) and ‘practical time’, where you implement what you’ve learnt with your team. Most courses take around 2-3 hours of ‘learning time’ (see the course page for exact timings), spread out to fit your own timeframes. The ‘practical time’ is hard to measure, as each organisation runs on its own timeframe. Realistically, most people could complete the course within around 2-3 months but it depends on your own culture and team.
What happens if I have questions throughout the course? Are you available to offer your expertise?
Absolutely! If you start on DIY and need extra help, just get in touch and we can talk about upgrading you to a partially guided or fully guided process.
