 NEXT STEPS

  • DONORSense is an online self-entry process.  You will enter information about your organization's programs, needs, board, history, etc.  Community Foundation of Acadiana will verify and enter portions of the financial information.  In order to complete the financial section, we will request 990s or audited financial statements from the previous three years. Please note that audits are preferred.
  • DONORSense coaches are available to support you throughout the profile process.  Generally, we require that you complete your profile within 3 to 5 weeks of receiving a request.  Profiles can take up to 4-6 hours of staff time.
  • Workshops and one-on-one trainings are available to familiarize you with the DONORSense database.  Currently workshops are scheduled at the Foundation office.  Contact Program Director, Trish Olivier, if you are interested in receiving assistance completing your profile.

Note that a profile must be complete and "CURRENT" by Community Foundation of Acadiana's standards before it is made viewable to the public. Once a profile is created, it may be updated as often as desired, with a minimum requirement of once a year to maintain Foundation "CURRENT" status.


THANK YOU!

DONORSense is thankful to the south Louisiana nonprofits for their work and willingness to provide information to the community.  We hope that DONORSense can support your efforts and connect your organization to new donors.
