Anna B
Creative Designer
5.0

Anna: Hi. I'm Anna, the creative designer with Our Simply Design, and I used Donorbox and would rate it five stars. Before Donorbox, we used the typical credit card apps, Stripe, Square, all of those things, but they felt very impersonal and you were charged a fee. So even when the client gave you a great amount, you still lost a tiny bit, and that's money being taken from your nonprofit. And we wanted the chance to take all of the money that our clients were giving us to get back to our nonprofits. So Donorbox gives you that option, and it's a great way to get all the money out there for your nonprofits and let the client choose how much they want to help and give to you. So as a website designer, one of my clients came to me and said, "Hey, can we add Donorbox to our website?" And I said, "Of course." So I added it, and as I did that, I did a lot more research about Donorbox because I don't want to use something that might cause problems later down the line with the website, and really loved all the great features that it offered, how personal it is, that you can set up a little web landing page with your event and have them donate to you. And it just felt personal and real, and that's what you want with the connection for your nonprofit. Donorbox, easy setup, easy to start, easy to implement, easy for your clients to use. Easy is the word, and it's not just me saying that as a web designer, but as a human being who has to learn the new technologies quickly. Donorbox was an easy fit for me and for my clients. No training really involved. We just set it up and go. If you're thinking about using Donorbox, give it a try. You're not going to regret using it, having your customers use it. It's user-friendly, easy to use, easy to set up, and you'll be glad that you did.

Jillian K
President
4.0

Jillian K.: My name is Jillian and I am a volunteer with various dog rescues and nonprofit organizations. And I would rate Mightycause a four out of five. For more information, click below. Before Mightycause we kind of used a grass roots platform that actually no longer exists and it didn't work because first of all, everything was very manual in it, which means that like with Mightycause I can decide when things start and end. But with this platform, I had to manually start it and manually end it. And we had 30, 40, 50, 60 campaigns running at the same time, going in and manually ending those and trying to do it all at the same time was impossible. It also no longer exists, which prompted us to search for a tool like Mightycause. So we chose Mightycause because they allow us to set up teams, which was extremely important and run multiple campaigns at the same time. So a lot of what we do with the dog rescue involves competition and voting and we vote via donation. So we can set up 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100 campaigns at once and see how they're all performing against each other. And they can also start and end at the exact same time. So we know at 11:59 PM on June 1st, exactly what each amount was for these different campaigns, which was extremely helpful. And it's very easy to use. I'll also say that when I first started, I struggled a little bit with getting started, but I found the support to be great. I talked to someone directly, they emailed back right away. So whenever I do have an issue where I'm confused, I find the support really, really good. I would say that Mightycause, the reason that I would say it's a four out of five is because I think getting started was a little bit difficult. It's not as intuitive as I would like it to be, especially when I'm asking people to set up their own teams or run their own fundraisers. When I do it all myself, now I know how to do it, it's pretty easy. But I think getting started is kind of middle of the road and it's really not as intuitive as it could be. I would recommend that people definitely reach out to support if they're having problems. It can be really frustrating to kind of go over and try to figure out how things are supposed to work, especially when, like I said, things are not as intuitive as they could be. So I would say if you get stuck, don't get frustrated. Just reach out to the support and they'll get back to you relatively quickly. And they're great at solving any open issues.
