Some of Our AIRS Users
People Are Talking We love using AIRS for all our donation requests. It is easy to navigate and saves us lots of time and paperwork. Kelly Blithe Director of Public Relations at State Theatre, NJ "Of all of the things I have done in my 30 years, this is one of the best." Jeff Gates, Owner of the Aquitaine Group - Boston, MA I have recommended AIRS to so many people! It made the whole process of receiving and tracking our donation requests so much faster and easier. It definitely saved us at least 50% of the time it used to take. The bonus? It brought new people to our website!
