Jonah G.: Hey, my name's Jonah. I'm a business development manager. I rate Txt2Give, four out of five, and for more views like this click below. When we were reviewing softwares for this particular solution, we were looking for a platform that provided us a texting to donate option, that would allow us to customize the look, feel, and workflow of the experience, so that we could provide an optimized experience for our clients/donors. We didn't find any options other than Txt2Give that gave us the flexibility to accomplish this and that's why we chose Txt2Give. So Txt2Give provides great integration options with many different payment processors, including our main payment processor, which is made for a direct transaction reception and connection with any financial institutions. So, because Txt2Give gave us the option to work with our existing partners, and because Txt2Give gave us the option to set up multiple different payment options for our donors, it gave us the options to set up different payment gateways, as well as different allocation options for our donors. Those are some of the reasons why Txt2Give were a great choice for us. Getting started with Txt2Give was extremely easy. They have a great support team that is very responsive and helped us get set up with very minimal effort on our end. The user interface is extremely user-friendly, so everything is laid out in a way that's easy to understand. And when there are things that are a little bit unclear with other providers, in terms of setting up integrations with payment providers, there are great walk-throughs and great intuitive help text, to help make sure that those processes are easy. If you're interested in Txt2Give, I would recommend doing a good review of their software platform, going through their website, as well as speaking to their sales team. Their sales team is extremely knowledgeable and can help answer any questions you have. In particular, I would be sure to know exactly what you're looking for, as there a lot of different options in the Txt2Give space. For example, if you're looking specifically for a texting short code to give, or if you're looking for more flexible giving options for your donors, you're going to want to look in different places, so make sure that you have a really clear list of the features that you want and your text data platform.

Briana: Hi, my name is Briana. I'm the CEO of a nonprofit. For Kindful, I rated a three out of five. For more reviews like this, see below. Kindful was our first major platform of that nature. Before, we were just making it work with Google Sheets and actually GoFundMe through just getting our initial donor databases built out. So as we were migrating from the very early days to a little bit slightly more advanced, we went with Kindful to assist with CRM and donor database management. So, a salesperson had actually approached me on LinkedIn, and I had never heard of it before, so I did a little bit of research. And not being familiar with other options or products of that nature, our team took a look and thought that it would be a smart investment. So from there, we pretty much just moved everything into the prospecting stage and were able to get set up within about a month or two of that outreach. So it was pretty robust. They had us meet with a pretty large team, relatively speaking, and there were a few points of contact that we worked with to get the initial account built out, because it wasn't super user-friendly and intuitive so they had to walk us through the Sandbox feature and the dashboard and all the different capabilities. But with their help, we were able to figure it out. And then also we had some volunteers on deck at the time internally that were able to expedite the onboarding and setup process. I would say definitely do some research and make sure that you feel it's worth it, because they did come at a cost of about $200 a month in our case. So especially if you're very early stage and have to be very cost-conservative, I think that it would be wise to evaluate free platforms just while you're getting started, especially if you don't see a long-term vision for the use of it. If it's more experimental, I definitely don't think that it's something to go all in on financially super early on. But if you do feel like it'll have a lot of value for you over the duration of your organization and fundraising period, then go for it.
