### "This works great for our Community Foundation!"

January 26, 2021

5.0

Their customer service is great and their online instructional videos are very helpful. Very user friendly.

Pros

We easily enter our donation information directly to DonorSnap from our post office deposits and the Go EMerchant online payments automatically enter with just one click after our approval. This enables our accountant to run donation reports for entry to Quickbooks and allows our Secretary to print out the thank you notes (through donorsnap) very efficiently and timely. We also like the dashboard apps that allow us to quickly see top donors, recent donors, progress of specific fundraising goals and it is so easy to customize the dashboard apps for our needs.

Cons

This was our foundation's first donor database so we provided an excel file with the information to DonorSnap. We originally did not enter the category field correctly and as a result could not sort by donation type. Once we discussed this with Customer Service however they were able to correct it for us (thank you!) and now our reports are much more useful. So I recommend you take the time in the beginning to understand what each field means and how each field is sorted before the initial entry of your database.

### "Donorsnap helped with a "flood" of donations"

January 19, 2017

5.0

Connellsville Area Community Ministries has been a customer of Donorsnap since the summer of 2013. We track our monetary and in-kind donations with your system and generate thank you letters and end-of-year contribution statements. We also track our volunteer hours. By the end of August 2016 we had approximately 1300 records in our system. Then, on August 28, 2016, our town was hit with a flash flood that affected 300 homes and the donations started to pour in. We took in more than $22,000 the first day! At this point, we have collected more than $650,000 for the flood recovery effort. With Donorsnap's help, we were able to generate more than 1500 thank you letters in a three month period. We could not have acknowledged that kind of volume by hand. We really needed Donorsnap. Thank you! We appreciate the work that you do! Blessings, Cris McDonough Assistant to the Director Connellsville Area Community Ministries P.S. In addition, your customer support is always timely and I appreciate the improvements you have made over the past three years to make data tracking easier. Your training sessions are efficient and helpful. In comparison to other programs of this type, yours is very affordable. Keep up the good work.

Pros

It is very flexible.

Cons

It's all good.

Pros

I am very happy with my experience using donorsnap, this is the only system I have used I have been using it for the past 5 years, the customer support has always been very helpful and explained things very thoroughly.

February 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

Very easy to use. Love all the options for reports that can be utilized.

Cons

Would like to be able to customize the contribution statement more without having to do a Word mail merge, but the standard form is sufficient as is.

### "Functional, User-Friendly and Great Product"

January 14, 2021

5.0

We have enjoyed growing with DonorSnap. More options and reporting tools have become available in the last few years which has helped us tremendously with the ease of accessing the kinds of reports we needed/wanted without manually creating them.

Pros

Easy access to our donor base and the ability to add individual notes for each contact. The ability to add events/fields for each donor is also very useful in tracking attendees for fundraisers or events.

Cons

I wish we could go directly to Contacts, rather than through a drop-down menu (Community)

### "Efficient, no frills"

January 14, 2021

4.0

DonorSnap is a totally functional CRM. I am happy with it, and don't think the experience offered by other software is worth the price. As long as you're comfortable using Excel, you can still find the nuanced data you need to find.

Pros

I most appreciate that this is a free software---which is sometimes critical when you're trying to get a nonprofit off the ground. I also appreciate the relative ease of use, and especially the dashboard, which lets you see how you're doing at a glance, and gives you key information in two seconds.

Cons

I was trained on Raiser's Edge, and I was used to having "forms" that pop up for each donor. Each donor has a separate and distinct set of pages or tabs connected to them. In DonorSnap, the donor doesn't have a pop-up record. It's difficult to describe, but it feels different. You can't have multiple records open at once, for example. You have one, and then you have to go back to the search function and transfer to another record. It feels less flexible than Raiser's Edge. I've also not had the greatest luck in running complex queries. I was good at that in RE, but with DonorSnap, I've taken to exporting a lot of info into Excel and then manipulating it from there.

### "Pasadena, Ca - Nonprofit"

April 7, 2022

5.0

Excellent! I can't speak highly enough about the customer support! They are timely and thorough with all questions and issues.

Pros

The customer support is excellent! Their response time and thoughtful answers were always very helpful.

Cons

There are a couple of very small things. One would be to be able to select 2 different processing fees - one for credit cards and one for ACH.

Reason for choosing DonorSnap

We chose DonorSnap because we could integrate with our quickbooks info.

### "Super for a small non-profit"

January 22, 2021

5.0

Our overall experience has been wonderful with DonorSnap. Customer service is fantastic and if we cannot find answers in the videos they provide, we can reach out via email or telephone, and their responses are quick and helpful!

Pros

DonorSnap provides us with an easy way to track not only our donors, but all of our contacts, committee member, volunteers, and partners and allows us to communicate seamlessly as well. It saved us from spreadsheets!

Cons

More creative options on the forms and more options for shopping cart.

Reason for choosing DonorSnap

When I was searching for our first donation and CRM program, DonorSnap was a good fit for our small organization as it was affordable, integrated with ConstantContact, and did provide opportunities to grow with us.

Hi Ellen, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I wanted to be sure you knew about our help website which is completely searchable and serves as a user manual with helpful videos and articles. You can access the help page from anywhere in DonorSnap and get specific help on that page, or search the site for specific information. Also, if you ever need specific help you can always reach out to the support team M-F 8am-6pm and someone would be happy to help you. Below is a link to the help website, but you can always access it in the top right corner of your DonorSnap site. https://donorsnap.com/support/ Thank you again for your feedback and thanks for being a DonorSnap customer.

Pros

I love the fact that DonorSnap allows you to set up multiple users with different privileges. The integration with my accounting software was seamless. Using this software on a daily basis allows my board members to see updates instantly.

Cons

I wish that there was an option for membership ID numbers to automatically generate.

### "We LOVE Donor Snap!"

February 2, 2023

5.0

We are able to track donations one year to the next, donations for specific events - we develop our own appeals, categories and system within Donor Snap that aligns with the way we do business, making it very easy to find any information quickly on any donation.

Pros

Donor Snap is very easy to use, run reports and customize and print thank you letters. Their customer service is exceptional and whenever I have a question I just "phone a friend" at Donor Snap and our amazing rep. gets right back to me with the answer. Donor Snap is so valuable to our agency/development department.

Cons

Nothing...Donor Snap makes our lives in Development so much easier!

February 1, 2023

5.0

We have been very happy with DonorSnap!

Pros

DonorSnap is extremely user friendly and customer service is second to none. The online form feature allows us to take and track donations.

Cons

While DonorSnap says that it is compatible with Quickbooks, we have been unsuccessful so far at pairing the two in a way that makes sense for us.

### "Great Customer Support"

February 25, 2022

5.0

DonorSnap has helped our nonprofit organization create detailed donor reports. The reports have identified donor groups within our donor database that our nonprofit organization should focus on.

Pros

Customer support is important to our organization. The customer support is always quick with their response.

Cons

The ability to integrate customer information from split donations into the donor acknowledgement letters would be a great addition in DonorSnap. I would also like the online responsive forms to process split donations from our customers.

February 1, 2023

Pros

This software seems to have endless capabilities. Almost every time I open the program, I find a new and useful feature. Keeping track of donations and donors is extremely simple. The instructional videos are very comprehensive and customer support is highly accessible and responsive.

Cons

There are some features that are not completely intuitive.

### "I can't say enough about the DonorSnap program itself and the staff behind it. Simply amazing!!!!"

May 15, 2018

5.0

Easy reporting Easy data entry Duplication Management Website Integration

Pros

I manage a number of databases for various nonprofit clients across the United States. DonorSnap is by far one of my favorites. It's extremely easy to use. On the occassion, I need help with a query, report, import, or anything, someone is ALWAYS there to help...very quickly!!! When I have a client that needs a system to track their gifts, I will always refer DonorSnap. So many nonprofits cannot afford an expensive system, however, still want the functionality, DonorSnap does this for them. The cost is beyond affordable and functionality rivals any Blackbaud product in my opinion.

Cons

To be honest, I can't say that anything is really a con to me. The DonorSnap team is continually coming out with additional features to enhance an already great system. All the while, keeping the price extremely affordable.

### "Good Value for the Money"

January 14, 2021

4.0

Our Foundation uses Donor Snap to track all fundraising activities. It is user friendly and does the job.

Pros

Donor Snap is a cost effective option for small to mid-sized nonprofits. There are no add-ons, it is all-inclusive and easy to learn. There are lots of helpful tutorials and set-up was a breeze.

Cons

Needs: Moves management for tracking donor stewardship, asks, and other interactions. It would be nice to have a fundraising dashboard in which you could add your fundraising goals and track throughout the year. Sponsor tracking for events would also be nice. It would be nice to have a "campaign / event" center where goals could be added and easy reports of sponsorship tracking could be run.

### "DonorSnap gets you organized"

January 14, 2021

4.0

DonorSnap eliminated the need for Excel, Access, and other piecemeal tracking of donors, donations, and contact information. Tech support has always been very responsive and the system downtime is minimal.

Pros

Product is easy to use and customize fields. Does not require customer service or technical support. Demos and instruction videos are helpful.

Cons

It would be helpful to be able to create a customized contact screen with not just fields and order but placement on screen as well. For example expand field size or font size. Also helpful to customize the Dashboard export of print/email file. Many fields are not needed on a regular basis.

Reason for choosing DonorSnap

Functionality, ease of use, cost, technical support and migration assistance.

### "If you can't figure it out...just ask. They can!"

February 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that when I can't figure something out, I can ask and get a detailed, step by step answer to my situation.

Cons

The donation forms are clunky and difficult to use. If everything in the background is either not there, or not listed properly, it doesn't work. This can be frustrating, but the saving grace here is as I stated above. If you ask they will tell you exactly what you need to do. Do it enough times and it will become second nature!

### "Makes My Job Easy and Fun!"

February 1, 2023

5.0

I knew nothing about the program when I first began volunteering to do financial records and fund raising. The videos were absolutely amazing (and continue to be). Those I feel I don't need, I don't bother with. There is much info out there and I haven't yet had a question about DonorSnap that couldn't be answered.

Pros

I love the customer support. It is so easy to watch a short training video on every single aspect of the program. I watch when I need to learn something new about the program or when I feel I need a refresher.

Cons

The software is set up so that it extends across the computer screen horizontally-much wider than my screen will allow. For us volunteers, this feature tended to really slow me down until I got used to working with it. I would be entering information and then need to see something all the way on the end of the right side but I couldn't just "get there." Now I'm used to it and figured out methods to circumvent.

Ok at best.

Pros

I inherited this software and do not find it user friendly it seems old and clunky. However, the price is good and all our historical data is in the system.

Cons

Hi Germaine, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. DonorSnap is completely customizable and we have advanced reporting capabilities to support all of our organization's unique needs. There is a learning curve for some of our more advanced reporting features, but we also have many pre-built reports in our system. If you have not watched already, I included a link to our reports training webinar. Also, please don't hesitate to reach out to support if you need specific help on a report, we are always happy to help! https://donorsnap.com/support/docs/analysis-reports-training-webinar/ As for the dated look. It is possible you are looking at an older version. We have over 20 versions with different looks to choose between. We appreciate your feedback, thank you again for taking the time to leave us a review.

### "Great value for capable donor management software"

January 22, 2021

4.0

We manage our donor records effectively with DS. The added benefit of integrated credit card processing is a great boon to us; it saves additional costs associated with that. I appreciate the reporting capabilities and the ease of use in pulling data.

Pros

DS is easy to use and to get up to speed on. It is straightforward to use and capable in terms of reporting, data gathering, and tracking donors. I appreciate the training workshops that have helped me make better use of this product. I really appreciate the integration of eCommerce credit card processing with DS.

Cons

We have not integrated this with QB because we are very basic users of QB. The reporting aspect of DS makes it relatively easy to reconcile the two.

We were finally able to create a informational hub for our program, that team members had access to and were able to update based on their roles. Finally somewhere that everyone could go to find the information they needed!

Pros

I absolutely love the support DonorSnap provides through videos, how-to guides, and reliable/quick customer support. DonorSnap is a true hub for our program that houses an abundance of information with great customization availability.

Cons

Pros

Help pages that are actually helpful. Good structure for providing training. Event registration/ticket sales well integrated. Customizable data searches are good

Cons

I find some item hard to find in the menu--I think they would be located somewhere else. Though if I would think of it I could add these items to the Favorite Pages app. I guess I do not think of them as Favorite Pages, maybe it should be renamed something like Quick Links

Reason for choosing DonorSnap
