Special Need!
The organization has a special need for $14,000 to take advantage of a grant offer that expires May 31. The money would pay for the first phase of development of a phenomenal new client database software to help volunteers and staff. The software provides not only stability and scalability, but also tools for NAM’s programs to provide more complete services to the client, quantify our services and provide goal-orientation to clients in order to move them towards self sufficiency.
