Management Tips » Database

A database is a digital compilation of information, typically contained on a computer or online. Nonprofit databases will usually contain information on donors and clients. They can also contain people who have subscribed to an organization’s eNewsletter. A database can be built from scratch or purchased from reputable software vendors. Organizations must also make sure they use the proper security measures when creating databases. The last thing a nonprofit wants is to deal with is a data breach.
