Data Mining for Non-Profit Organizations.


Chapter 4 really got me thinking about collection and data management in the world we live nowadays. I work for a very small non-profit organization - Terezin Music Foundation - and all that information about how to make the data I collect from my customers, in case donors, increase my organization's bottom line got me thinking about many things. I started wondering how a small organization like mine can benefit from data mining if all we have is one person trying very hard to put together a Filemaker database and keep all the data we have up to date in there. After some researching and lot of reading I  found a very interesting white paper that I would love to share with you. The paper did not answer all my questions or solved my dilemma but is full of very insightful information.
