“Overall, we’re in a much better position to continue growing the organization and to realize significant cost efficiencies and economies of scale while providing our donors, grantees and other constituents with the highest possible level of service.” Mike Rea, Managing Director, Give2Asia
“With NorthStar 500 we’ve gained efficiencies across all functions of our operation that simply would not have been possible in our previous software environment. Access to real-time account information has improved, donor reporting has improved, grant processing and tracking have improved, internal reporting has improved and errors are much less likely due to the integration and internal checks of the system.” Mike Rea, Managing Director, Give2Asia
"From an administration perspective, we needed to ensure that information from all parts of the organization could flow to other parts of the organization, and that it was all contained within one system. We researched every technology system on the market and NorthStar 500 was the only system that promised this." Timothy Freundlich Director, Strategic Development Calvert Social Investment Foundation
"In order for Calvert to competitively launch a brand new Donor Advised Fund Program we needed a global enterprise software solution that allows us to integrate all elements of the funds management into one unified solution. Integrating separate systems for accounting, online donor services, grant management and investment management was not an option. The ability of NorthStar 500 to manage the full spectrum of our Donor Advised Fund administration tasks in one platform and to scale efficiently as the number of donor funds and overall fund assets grew was the critical factor in our choice to work with Stellar Financial." Timothy Freundlich Director, Strategic Development Calvert Social Investment Foundation
“We’re very pleased [with NorthStar 500]. We were able to eliminate all the other various software applications we had been using and have seen vast improvements in operational efficiencies and data integrity. Going forward, we’re confident we can handle significantly more volume without having to add additional operational staff, will be able to better service our donors and other constituents and will be able to more effectively market our initiatives.” Ray Klinke Finance & Operations Officer Give2Asia
