Well here in Hong Kong i doubt many NGOs or non-profits use GnuCash, as 
it is Linux and "free software" and that's scary. They're not exactly 
progressive in that field or so.

I mean, Windows you can get virtually for free, too! So everyone uses 
Windows. A copy of Vista (if you really want) you can get on the market 
for the equivalent of say US$10, won't be more.

And in my wife's case, she's to keep track of donors, not donations as 
such. No bookkeeping involved, that's for the accountant. She needs a 
kind of customer relationship management software, but then 
specifically for donors. GnuCash is not suitable for that purpose.
