Hi Nancy,
In 2010, I had QuickBooks 2005 new, in my possession, which I never
downloaded as I was afraid without a computer geek standing by. As it turns out,
WWBIC (Wisconsin Women Business In Community in Madison) had offered a
QuickBooks Intro and a QuickBooks Advanced training session. I forget how
much they initially wanted for the training, but they had scholarship
available, which reduced the price down to $30 for each training session, so it
cost me $60, and it was incredible training. Although QuickBooks keeps coming
out with an annual software, making each one, new and improved (and they
are all AWESOME), the instructor said rather than buy the new one and pay
full price, you can buy them off Ebay at considerable savings.
I highly recommend QuickBooks. If you get the QuickBooks Pro or Premier
Version (because it has extra features, especially for inventory and more)
rather than the Basic Version, you will get the best one for your money,
because you don't know what the future holds, and although you may not think
you need it, it will be there for later, when you find out you do need it.
I just checked Ebay. They currently have 774 items. Then I looked at the
QuickBooks non-profit, and there were 2, as shown below:

The Howard-Suamico Historical Society is a small organization. We are
currently looking at changing the software we use to keep track of our
finances. Soon, we will begin fundraising to restore a farmhouse and barn and the
activity for the treasurer is going to be increased significantly and we are
concerned about how this will be handled to keep the best track of this
activity. We are currently looking at Quickbooks. Do you think just the
regular business program is sufficient or should we be looking at a program
specifically for non-profits?
I would appreciate any help you can give us..
Thanks,
