"Overall, I truly love DonorPerfect. I have personally used it for over 10 years and to see all the changes has been amazing - it truly gets easier and easier with each upgrade!"
"We've quadrupled our donor database! Last year, we had roughly 2,500 gifts – a record number! We've raised $14 million for the new building thanks to the successful capital campaign, in addition to raising what we need to cover regular expenses. I can honestly say we would not have had all this success without DonorPerfect."
“When I got to (East Georgia State College), I asked for donor records and they were in boxes. We did have some old Excel files, but most were paper documents. I went to work to find a system that we could afford, that I felt like would serve what we needed, and DonorPerfect by far, was the choice. You might be able to buy something that has been on the market longer, that has more bells and whistles, or you may feel is more in tune with educational fundraising, but I’ll tell you straight off the bat, you’re not going to find anything that’s easier to adapt to what you got to use. You can’t beat it.”
"We try really hard to help our donors feel like they are part of what we’re doing and know that what they’re doing is making a difference. We try to be pretty consistent about reaching out to them with updates on what we’re accomplishing because of what they’ve given. If you’re just constantly saying, ‘Here’s our need and we can’t do this without you,’ people don’t want to give to that. People want to give to something that’s exciting, something that’s working, something that’s happening. I think you have to find that delicate balance between, ‘here’s the need that we have,’ but also ‘here’s the opportunity [you’ve created.]"
"[DonorPerfect] quoted us six to eight weeks. They were able to do our data migration ahead of schedule, which was nice because our contract with Bloomberg was actually up and that’s on a yearly basis, so we couldn’t just add on an additional month. We would have been without CRM software for about a month but they were able to push us ahead in the schedule so we were only down for a week. Very manageable."
"I can truly say that each and every time I call the DonorPerfect phone support team, I’m never disappointed. They never fail to deliver a top-notch interaction. They’re warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Who could ask for more? Whatever they are doing, they should keep doing it. They might want to sell it in a bottle to other companies."
"I think last year when we did not have DonorPerfect, one or two people could not have pulled off this event, but because of the support and the fact that DonorPerfect made it so easy to reach our donors and prospective donors, it just made it a lot easier to access the information that we needed. We were able to mail almost 600 brochures to potential donors.”
“It’s astounding to me how other systems make everything so complicated and difficult. The system that i have worked with recently and was extremely disapointing to me was Bloomerang.”
“The most beneficial feature for me is their support line. Its the best in the business, and that’s across industries. When I call there they always pick up quickly with a live person, and 99.9% of the time they can solve the problem for us. I’ve recommended DonorPerfect to lots of nonprofits – I think its a great piece of software. Its does everything we really want it too.”
“I also really like the different functions that are so customizable such as the donor records and the different screens in the donor records. I can add fields, remove fields that are obsolete, and it was incredibly simple. The world is ever evolving, as are our needs in terms of what data is relevant. Just the fact that its so easy to go in and customize many years after we started using it is so awesome and invaluable.”
‘’This is one of the best software programs I've ever had the pleasure of using. DonorPerfect makes entering data simple, receipting easy, and running reports a snap.’’
“DonorPerfect can grow with you. Once you get it, you won’t ever want to jump ship to another system.”
“DonorPerfect is easy to learn! We are beginners in the area of fundraising, and DonorPerfect has helped us get our campaign started.”
“This session was very compelling and enlightening. It truly spoke to my heart and what I've been struggling with in this profession. The session gave me hope, a sense of direction, and a reminder to never give up on yourself and what you believe you can achieve.”
“I already wish that this was a week-long event from Monday through Friday! There is so much useful information. I have been fundraising for 20+ years and it is always exciting to learn and apply new information and also to have refreshers!”
