Rachael J
Event Fundraising Manager
5.0

Rachael: Hi, my name is Rachael. I'm the event fundraising manager for Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas, and I would rate OneCause at a level of five. I use OneCause for all of our internal fundraising needs. So everything from auctions to raffles, to live auctions, and just anything in between. My favorite thing about OneCause is that it's seamless. There are so many capabilities all in one program and it makes it very much a worry-free process for me. The only thing that I would change about OneCause is the descriptions underneath the reports that we pull so that we can pull the information that we're needing a lot faster.

Camille S
Director of Alumni Engagement
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Camille. I'm the director of Alumni Engagement for Ranney School, and I would give Almabase a five out of five star rating. I haven't used any other alumni-specific software products prior to using Almabase, but I have extensive research and experience using other CRM systems, including Raiser's Edge and Salesforce. Ranney School decided to invest in Almabase software several years ago with the increasing need to engage and reengage with our alumni community. And it's been an initiative that we've continued forward, and the software has helped us tremendously. Almabase was incredibly easy and simple to integrate with our current organization. At first, all we had to do was provide an Excel list of all of our alums, and the partners in the backend at Almabase worked quickly to upload that information. As information is new or needs to be added, it's incredibly simple to do such thing. And what I appreciate the most is Almabase's ability to integrate with other softwares like Raiser's Edge. So our current database with all of our constituent information is easily connected with Almabase, so there isn't duplicating efforts back and forth. My advice to anyone considering Almabase is to definitely give it a look, go through the trial and understand its capabilities. And if you see anything that you wish it did do, definitely mention it to it because the developers are consistently making new changes and they value everyone's feedback. So I definitely think it's a software worth your investment.
