How did Uniting Church Child Care Association benefit from DonorTec?

The UCCCA recently took advantage of the DonorTec program to upgrade their software. Trish Pountney, Administrator for UCCCA says “We used to have a disjointed system, as staff often swapped from one computer to another.” Since utilising the Microsoft software Trish says “It has really made a huge difference and has benefited us enormously. We are now able to keep technology savvy, which is really just so important.”The UCCCA recently took advantage of the DonorTec program to upgrade their software.
