DonorPerfect vs Mightycause: Which is a better fit?

Kathleen G.: Hi, my name is Kathleen. I'm a manager of community and alumni engagement at Foothills Academy Society, and I give DonorPerfect five out of five stars. So when I came into my role, I inherited our DonorPerfect software. However, I've been approached by multiple other organizations who do similar work. I have chosen to stay with DonorPerfect because of the high level of support that I get from the team at DonorPerfect as well as the extensive knowledge base and the overall usability and increase of efficiency for our work. DonorPerfect has been the choice to stay with completely 1000%. So the reasons that we chose to stay with DonorPerfect was it's created so much efficiency for us around the work we're doing with reporting to donors, as well as our own internal reports to track and check our data on how we are doing in our fundraising. It's also created a lot of ability through the integration with other platforms for processing golf tournament fees, golf tournament sponsorships and donations, as well as our... What am I thinking of? Oh, as well as all of our financial components. It's just... and the online form section, it's just been an absolute dream to use and really easy to use and really easy to adopt. So we have stayed with it because it's the number one choice. It was so easy to onboard and integrate with DonorPerfect. We elected to do training to increase the capacity of our team as we were all new to our roles. Once we got started, we found it to be very, very easy to use, really intuitive, and the capacity of it as we've grown our team over the last 18 months has really proven a worthwhile investment for us. I think the recommendation I would have for other folks who are looking at using DonorPerfect is considering the offset of how much time you're currently spending maybe working with your data, maybe sending thank you notes to your donors, maybe issuing receipts, and think about how much time you could save if that was a really streamlined process. I would also really recommend considering this to an offset to a cost and an increase in capacity for you to do maybe more meaningful work in your fundraising and not just spending time issuing or printing receipts, and think about how it could really increase the capacity of your organization to have such an amazing, streamlined product integrated into what you're doing. And do training. And definitely do training because it makes the whole thing 1000% easier. It's worth that additional investment. I would say it 10X'd our ability with the product. So buy the product, pay for the additional training so that you're really capable and competent in it, and then watch how much easier it makes your life on the day to day.

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.
