“I think we discovered how modern technology can help us. So Virtuous challenges us to become more modern, and we challenge Virtuous to be more global.”
“Need to raise money? Then RaiseDonors is the premier platform. With RaiseDonors we have exponentially increased our revenue and been able to manage and develop our donors. Most importantly we have been able to advance our mission!”
"We’re process-obsessed at this point. We don’t just use [Automation] for interacting with donors, we also use it to tell our team what their next best tasks are."
“Talking to your donors more and keeping them informed helps bring in more money. By using a platform that easily sets up emails, and getting into a more repetitive or regular communication with our donors – whether that’s a phone call, letter, or email – keeps that same story going.”
“Since we’ve been with Virtuous, we’ve been doing more metrics work and have only been on an upward trajectory.”
“We wanted to pick a company that we could see ourselves staying with for decades. We don’t want to go through the pain of another database conversion at the end of our contract. So that was a really big part of our discernment process. And we were really very pleased we chose Virtuous.”
“There’s a lot of training that’s always available, and Virtuous listens to changes and updates and is quick to implement them.”
“Salsa was really, really slow. I just didn’t use it much. I never got on there–it wasn’t friendly for me.”
“Virtuous has a great deal to offer. It’s cost-effective, cloud-based, and the responsiveness of the support team is a huge plus for anyone looking at a CRM.”
“I work a lot with our monthly donors, and it’s really helpful for me to just be able to pull a quick report in a couple of seconds. I was doing that all manually in Salesforce.”
“I feel like I have Virtuous beside me, managing relationships and helping us wealth screen right away, assign people to portfolios, and give updates. It’s really like an extra member of our team.”
“Our city network leaders in 25 cities kept track of who was in their network through one big Excel sheet.”
“We feel very comfortable using the chat feature and getting help and having things tweaked for us if we need. When custom reports weren’t working for me, I was able to reach out and get the problem solved quickly.”
“At that time, Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge was the gold standard CRM. However Raiser’s Edge was more of a skin, or interface, that made us believe that we were working in the cloud but in reality, we weren’t. While Blackbaud was building a cloud-based platform, we were really working in a database view with a cloud skin over it.”
“There were some things we would put into NXT and the database view and discovered they weren’t talking to one another. Especially when it came to grant management, that was our biggest pain point. Our grant manager was trying to track grants but the information wasn’t flowing through to Raiser’s Edge and made it difficult to pull reports."
