Sage Software today announced that its Sage MIP Fund
Accounting product has received a coveted 2008
Campbell Award from Campbell Rinker, an independent
market research firm, for being the most recommended
accounting solution among users from nonprofits with
annual revenue of $5 million and above, based on the
firm’s 2007 Nonprofit Accounting Software Survey of
U.S. customers. Campbell Rinker surveyed
approximately 2,400 customers of accounting software
for nonprofits, from which a selection of qualified
product ratings were used in the selection of the
awards.
This is Sage MIP Fund Accounting’s third
consecutive Campbell Award. In 2005, the product
received the highest overall satisfaction score
among all products rated in the Nonprofit Accounting
Software Survey, and in 2004, it received a Campbell
Award for having the Best Expense Tracking
capabilities of all rated products. In addition to
Sage MIP Fund Accounting, Sage Software’s Peachtree
by Sage Premium Accounting, Nonprofit Edition, was
recommended frequently by nonprofit staff in the
2007 Nonprofit Accounting Software Survey.
"We are honored to receive such high recognition
from our customers," said Krista Endsley, senior
vice president and general manager for Sage
Software's Nonprofit Solutions. "Sage MIP Fund
Accounting is designed to improve the daily lives of
nonprofit accounting professionals, while our
ultimate goal is to help organizations demonstrate
financial and organizational accountability to their
boards and constituents. Receiving this third
consecutive Campbell Award speaks volumes to our
product team’s efforts to deliver a superior fund
accounting solution tailored to not only smaller
nonprofits, but also larger organizations."
Campbell Rinker’s Nonprofit Accounting Solution
Survey gathers information on user satisfaction,
pricing preferences, purchasing habits, and
organizational scope, and is conducted approximately
every two years. A key finding of this most recent
survey, conducted online between November and
December 2007, is that 10 percent of nonprofits are
using online accounting applications (i.e. ASPs, Web
sites, etc.) as their primary solution, while the
remaining 90 percent of nonprofits are using
locally-installed software*. Campbell Rinker
thoroughly screens users to ensure results are
accurate.
For more than 25 years, Sage MIP Fund Accounting
has been helping nonprofit and government
organizations of all sizes track and report on

software has been honored with numerous awards,
including perfect five-star product reviews from top
accounting industry publications, such as CPA
Technology Advisor.
