I love BasicFunder. I am the treasurer of a small non-profit organization and I would quit before I switched to another product.

Pros

One of the best features of BasicFunder is their support. I have never such good support. We pay the $120/year support, but are planning on going up to the online version which is $35/month

Cons

There is a learning curve to creating reports. I needed to spend the time to understand this feature before I got full value from it.

Reasons for choosing BasicFunder

The previous treasurer purchased BasicFunder. I have been using it for the last three years since I have become treasurer.

Pros

The customer service we've received from BasicFunder has been FANTASTIC. They are always very helpful in answering our questions and expanding the program to meet our needs.

Cons

Some of the functions are a bit complicated and confusing. Sometimes, reports have to be run a very precise way or it will give you the wrong numbers.

Pros

We use this product for our volunteer database. It allows us to keep track of volunteer hours, events, and their personal information. It is so easy to make a group and contact that group of volunteers for a certain event. Direct mail is our best friend for saving time when it comes to getting information out.

Cons

I use this product a few times a week, and I have no complaints! It is a great addition to our non-profit!

Pros

Basic Funder is a great software for events needing registration as well as ticket sales. Not only does it offer these great features but it collects information and gives you data for the funds you have made.

Cons

I didn't find anything I disliked about basic funder! I would recommend to anyone in the nonprofit field.

It's useful and affordable.

Pros

It's relatively easy to use and when I don't understand something, your support service is readily available.

Cons

There are features on BasicFunder that I still don't use because I don't really know what they're for or how to use them. I guess I need a refresher.

Recommend this product for any small non-profit!

Pros

Basic Funder is very easy to get started with. We have been using it for over 5 years and find it very easy to work with. We are a small non-profit, so the cost was a big factor - we don't feel we've "given up" anything - and the support is very responsive!

Cons

The "in memory" and "in honor of" letters and notifications are a little awkward in that you have to set up each honoree individually and link to recipient. Once you figure it out, it's easy!

Able to enter and retrieve information very, very quickly. Reports didn't take too long to learn, the manual is a great help. IN Honor & IN MEMORY setup is much better. Not as many screens to go through to just enter name, address etc. Being a non-profit of home delivered meals we are able to quickly enter what we need.

Pros

Very, Very easy to learn and use and the cost is unbelievable, soooooo much cheaper than others and better to work with. Support is wonderful also.

Cons

The "edit" button on the pages and the red " Delete the currently selected User Created List". right under the Preview & Export tab in User created lists under reports. In the setup for Honor and Memory you cannot use an apostrophe. But so much better even with these cons, you can deal with it no problem.

Pros

The reports that are able to be produced. Mostly I love the software program and recommend it. The customer support is very helpful and always willing to take the time to explain.

Cons

Some of the reports are difficult to figure out how to produce - if it is not a common report. But this may also have been easier for other people.

Our built-in "common" reporting is very easy as you said. Just select the report, date range and filtering you want. These are all point and click. Debbie, you are referring to our ad hoc - User Created Lists - where you build your own by specify the fields and criteria to select the records to make your own special report. Yes - it can take a bit of time to understand the data and structure in order to use this function easily. Thank you for the review!!
