Connecting donors, programs and workshops.

A proposal for the four goals in the meeting brief. It's based on a read-only review of the monday.com account: nothing has been changed.

Pro plan 7 members 85 active boards Reviewed 22 Sept 2026

Goal 1Donors, VIPs and eventsOne Contacts board, an Events board, and attendance per person per event. Goal 2Projects → programsA pipeline with clear stages, and a Won project becomes a program automatically. Goal 3Workshop logOne Sessions board from booking to report, instead of three places. Goal 4Alerts and calendarNotify the team, email facilitators, and send real calendar invites.

Record each thing once, then connect

Right now the same kinds of information are copied in several places. People appear in Donations — All Years, Event Lists, Event Attendees, Prospect Funders and Foundation Donations. Partner organisations are typed as free text on Partnership Projects, Impact Reports and every program board. Completed workshops are recorded in three different places.

All four goals come down to the same fix: one board for each kind of thing, linked with Connect boards columns. Mirror columns can then show information from linked boards, such as a contact's total giving. Both are included in the Pro plan.
