Why Go Paperless in Gift Processing
Knowing how paperless gift processing can transform your advancement shop begins with why it should be considered in the first place. By learning about the impact going paperless had at the University of Utah, you will be able to understand how it can elevate the accountability, transparency, and efficiency of the gift intake, development, and donor relations processes.

Using Data to Showcase Benefits 
Delays in gift processing time not only slow down financial transfers to specific account ledgers on campus, it delays your messages of gratitude thanking the donor, while also delaying the opportunity to provide that donor with a timely receipt. Learn how to identify the right type of data to help you transfer to a paperless gift processing system.

Gaining Campus Stakeholder Buy-in 
Once you have identified and organized the data behind your reason for moving to paperless, securing stakeholder buy-in is the next, and more critical, step to implementation success. By starting with your institution’s most influential departments, you will learn how to achieve buy-in with the remainder of the essential stakeholders on campus.
