In the FundCentre Fundraising application, there is a difference between contacts and users. Contacts can be considered to be like business cards and only require an email address to be added. Contacts can be one of the many representatives of a prospective investor or service providers to whom you send marketing materials. A contact becomes a user when you invite them to the FundCentre Fundraising portal and permission them to a fund, campaign or investment.
