Bringing over 25 years of experience in computer systems management and fundraising, Anne Caldera, President of Caldera Consulting, offers a wide selection of management, fundraising, and development information systems consulting services to non-profit organizations in the New England area. Anne comes to the consulting world after a myriad of management experiences in marketing, technical support and development systems in both the computer industry and the non-profit sector. Over the past ten years, Anne's direction has been with Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge™ fundraising software.

"Having direct hands-on experience with this product as a systems manager, I have been involved with its evolution over the years and established key relationships at the company. Knowing that the product and company is the market leader, I decided to direct my company toward what I consider the best fundraising software available on the market today. My blend of computer, management, and fundraising experience, as well as multiple conversion work, allows me to share this wealth of information with my clients."

Anne has been a guest speaker at the Blackbaud annual conferences on philanthropy and was solicited for advice on the product development of The Raiser's Edge™ version 7.0. She has been asked by Blackbaud to provide her expert opinion in the company's various marketing literature, and has published articles on philanthropy. In addition to her client work, Anne has also provided assessments to many organizations evaluating development information systems. Her results oriented approach, knowledge base and experience, and commitment to her clients places Anne among the experts in this field.
