Spring Auction Season Underway!

Everett, WA (March 25, 2008) – The spring event fundraising season is here and well underway with many nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and Canada purchasing Tracker-Series applications and related services. Over the past six months, Northwest Software has enjoyed continued expansion of it's National Site License program with several new cause related organizations signing agreements as well as current organizations implementing and/or expanding their current site license agreements. Among the most recent activities...

• The National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has commenced implementation of Auction-Tracker to its chapter offices nationwide. Gala events, starting with the original test sites, begin next month. Roll out of this site license is being done in phases.
  

• The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation has signed a national agreement with our card processing partner, Event Payment Services, processing auction night payments for chapter events nationwide. The first of these events, held in Seattle, has already been completed. (More on this soon.)
