### "Good Donor management tool"

November 17, 2016

4.0

I've only just started managing donors for the nonprofit that I fundraise for and so I'm only just getting settled into Donately but so far, so good. I'm hoping to see what more I can do and learn and also how to get alerts when we receive support so as to prevent a delay in thanking our supporters. It appear to be quite easy to use for beginners and small nonprofits!

fairly straightforward. i've had good responses from the donately team whenever problems arise. thanks donately team!

Pros

would be nice to be able to scroll through recent donations just by clicking left and right instead of having to go back to the root page with all the donations on it - navigation

### "Great way to raise money for a non-profit"

February 1, 2017

5.0

I have been using Donately for about two years. I chose Donately as a way for my sponsors to donate online because it was easy and straight forward about the admin fee. It has been a great site that continues to become even more user friendly. I would recommend Donately to anyone who runs a non-profit and is in need of a way for people to donate online.

### "Very Satisfied"

November 2, 2016

5.0

I went to a website to donate some money to one of my favorite places. I noticed they had switched from Paypal to Donately. I liked that I didn't have to use paypal any longer as I did not agree with their politics. I also liked that using donately on the website was easy and self-explanatory. I will be recommending this service to everyone I know!

### "Donate.ly is our donation and crowdfunding platform"

November 7, 2016

4.0

Though the system has its pros and cons, little bugs to work out, etc., I have always been satisfied with the level of customer service received when we reach out. Whether to solve an issue with the system, start working on a new feature that would improve our experience, or just on help with navigating through it, Donate.ly has been very helpful.

### "Excellent solution for medium sized non-profit, support is spectacular!"

July 16, 2017

5.0

Pros

It's easy to implement a great looking donation form. Most features we needed were included out of the box, and we were able to customize other functions with help from support to get exactly what we wanted. Customer support is just outstanding!

Cons

It would be great to have more options built into the form editor. I think this will happen with time; the development team seems to be working on improvements consistently.

### "Donately - Always Improving to Fit User Needs"

October 28, 2016

4.0

Donately has massively improved in the last few years since we've started using it. Their team has listened to our advice along the way and made changes to their backend based off our feedback. Donately has always been easy to manage, but they've been able to provide more and more features to make it an all encompassing donation platform.

### "The best button out there!"

November 10, 2016

5.0

I really like the design of the Donately interface. It adds to the overall professional feel of our website and is far superior to the look of the PayPal or simple pay now buttons.

Pros

The interface looks amazing and links easily between accounts.

Cons

The fees are a bit high for a non-profit oriented market.

### "From Outside the Lens"

January 26, 2017

3.0

My overall experience has be satisfactory, but I am not very happy about the fee's. When comparing to other organizations that provide similar services, Donate.ly is more expensive and does not provide anything above and beyond what we can get elsewhere. 5% is a large chunk, but we understand why you need to charge these fee's.

November 17, 2016

4.0

This was our first time doing a donation drive type fundraiser and donately.com made it so easy! One of my favorite parts was how easy it is to sign in and monitor donation activity!

Pros

How easy it is to sign in and monitor donation activity

Cons

No email notifications when donations are made.

### "Donation software for small nonprofit "

February 14, 2017

4.0

We switched from Anedot to Donatly because of the additional feature of peer to peer fundraising. We haven't really utilized that feature yet but hopefully will in the future. Other than that, the setup isn't much different from Anedot but it is more expensive. It's pretty user friendly. We will keep it for now.

### "Donately is a great platform for smaller non-profits "

October 28, 2016

5.0

We've used Donately to supporth both our Annual Fund and a capital building project. Donately was a natural fit since we already had a Stripe account. I could see the system being confusing for someone who was not previously familiar with Stripe.

Pros

Ease of use

Cons

Fees... who likes any sort of fee?

### "Easy way to start online fundraising"

October 31, 2016

3.0

Donately is a relatively easy way to get started with online fundraising. Although its a little hard to navigate to the get the reports you want but they are there. Often have to go back and forth between the processor's interface and Donately to get all the information needed for accounting.

Pros

Easy to interface with our website.

Cons

Interfacing with Stripe could be cleaner and more streamline. Often have to log into both to get necessary information.

November 17, 2016

I'm on the board of a non-profit and we have been using Donately for our Donor and Campaign Management for the last 2 years and it has fulfilled all of our needs on that front. We spent a lot of time checking out other platforms, but felt that Donately had the best features for the price point.

Donately has been a great resource to help our nonprofit designate specific projects for fundraising campaigns. It is easy to use and connects securely with the Stripe payment platform. Great user interface for tracking donors and campaigns. Highly recommended for all non-profits like us!

November 15, 2016

I was looking for a simple way for people to send me donations and after comparing what was available on the market I decided to go with Donately. That was over a year ago and everything has been working great. Love this company!

Pros

Ease of use, fully hosted solution, cheap.

### "Donately works"

November 2, 2016

4.0

Overall, it's easy and gets the job done. I wish it were more customizable and there is very little to no customer support. Not sure if that is really an issue, because like I mentioned works, but I always like having the option of speaking to someone when I have a question.

### "Used for small campaigns"

March 28, 2019

4.0

Pros

I use this for small campaigns that I assist with so that we can avoid paying monthly or annual fees with other platforms. There's an easy enough set up for this, and while it has a 4% fee, it allows us to get up and running without that front end investment in a long term commitment.

Cons

4% fee can be steep compared to alternatives in my opinion.

Response from Donately

January 15, 2020

Thank you for your honest feedback, Jeremy. We work hard to balance the cost of providing the platform with keeping the prices as low as possible to support nonprofits. Our goal is to continue to offer value at the same low cost.

### "A Platform That Helps Us Do Good"

October 28, 2016

5.0

Donately was so easy to set up and integrate into our website. It has allowed us to reach and engage new supporters who were unable to contribute to our cause. The overall look and feel of the Donately widget fits perfectly with our website. Keeping track of our contributions has never been easier. We're grateful for Donately and for the team that took the time to build a solution that we can all believe in. Thanks!

Pros

1\. The look and feel. 2. The usability.

Cons

helps us track our donations from our website and enables us to sync with our salesforce.

Pros

The ease of use and EXCELLENT customer support set Donately apart from the rest. We wouldn't have been able to do our job without the help of their support team.

Cons

Would rather have a system that lets me edit the structure of the donate page. Would love to be able to add more features on my own.

Overall Donately is a great and innovative product, but it still needs a little development. In particular the editor on the campaign pages leaves a little to be desired. Other than that it is helpful and allows a smaller organization to raise funds like a larger one.

We needed to set up a way to donate to our non-profit and we are not hip on the technology. We figured it out and it works easily for the donor. Now we just need to get them. We know donately is powerful and can do so much more, we just have to spend a little time.

Intuitive and easy to use to use. Viewing donations is simple and there is a good search function that has multiple ways to search. Contacting donors is also great. It took me a little bit to get everything figured out but once I did it all made sense.
