Our software engineers have created and continue to add anything our clients need. @EASE is a collaboration where data management and fund development meet.

We know the value of productivity and have integrated your electronic tools so they are accessible from @EASE’s main menu. 15 Second Retrieval is our mantra. Does it work? It works in our office and it will work for you.

Rich Profiles for Donors, Advocates and Stakeholders

Knowing your donors helps to build sustainable relationships. Why do they donate is an important question. More important is retaining their response. Staff changes can undermine your charity. @EASE profile fields capture talking points to benefit your charity.

Online Donations with Donate Now

Donate Now gives you one-time donations,  monthly donations, in memory, in honour or, peer-to-peer events, ticket sales, registrations with or without a fee.

From Chaos to Control Book Review

Ken Wyman, Prof Emeritus Humber College: "I wish I had your book years ago. You are so right about the challenges for charities to keep track of all the information about donors, volunteers, people who ask for information, beneficiaries (ticket buyers, alumni, clients, family, members, etc.). This MUST be centralized, accessible, and kept up to date. Too often, it is incomplete, scattered, or worst yet, not recorded at all."

Call Us! Supporting the Non-Profit sector since 1994

@EASE integrates with Constant Contact, iATS Payments, SMTP2Go and the EaseKMS Knowledge base.

Accessible, accurate information supports a Knowledge Driven Charity.

martinm@canadadeceasedlist.ca

DEC data is the only specialised deceased data supplier in Canada. Our entire business revolves around the curation of continually growing lists of information regarding the deceased in Canada. Our data is highly accurate and captures most of the deaths occurring in Canada every day from two reliable sources: Canada Bereavement Registry and our proprietary software ObitScan. Canada Bereavement Registry is a consumer registry used by funeral homes, estate executors and the public providing highly accurate and timely information on the deceased. Our proprietary software ObitScan has been carefully designed to take the most current and relevant details of the deceased in Canada from the internet. 

Our Services
Deceased Donor Matching

The data supplied by our Canada Bereavement Registry includes the name, address, date of birth and death of the deceased.  Not for profit and data analytics organisations can use the information from this list to remove the deceased from marketing databases.  This helps to save costs by increasing ROI on marketing campaigns, protect brand integrity by not offending the bereaved with unwanted mail, and promote environmental responsibility by reducing unwanted paper mail.

This service is offered in two ways:

1. A monthly file of deceased data is given to your organisation for in house data cleansing.

2. We receive your data and send you a monthly report with deceased donor matches.

Donation Searches

With the use of our proprietary software ObitScan we offer a service called ObitSearch which is a subscription service that finds your organisations name listed in obituaries.  With this monthly list, you can follow up on donations requested by the deceased’s family and helps to find legacy gifts.
