“I have quite a bit of experience with different platforms, what they can do, and what I need them to do from the development side. So I was really excited when I learned about Virtuous.”
“We really are powered by volunteers. With a staff of less than 50 but over 1,600 volunteers, they are so important to us."
“Automation is a total game-changer. To be able to set volunteers on an automated track is really something special that not a lot of CRMs have.”
“[We have] 2,200 donors and 1,500 of them are monthly recurring donors. [This makes us] unique, but we would lose that opportunity if we couldn’t be responsive to people. Virtuous has allowed us to communicate individually, to catch things that should be caught.”
“We’re able to see how someone has interacted with us within the peer-to-peer community. Did they give as a third-party donor to someone in our network? That’s going to shift how we communicate with them and how we target them for further engagement. That has been a critical tool for us as we’ve gone into Virtuous.”
“Anytime I look into any piece of technology or something to add for our organization, I have to make sure (a) it’s a fit in our budget and (b) it fits in with our mission. Virtuous was able to do both these things very well.”
“For any RMHC, knowing that their whole mission is serving families, the way that Virtuous does business is right in step with that, making sure that the nonprofit has the tools, the resources to continue serving, to continue growing, and to continue fulfilling that mission for many years down the road.”
“The overwhelming message from our users is they now have better access to data. They can actually go in and interact with the information, learn more about their own portfolios, and see the other marketing activities that are happening across the organization.”
“The solutions we were looking for were exactly what VOMO offered. And we found that out in our first meeting with a representative from VOMO.”
“You had to start well because if you began a process inside Raiser’s Edge and then deviated from that, it would be impossible to get back on track.”
“Our giving has definitely improved because we’ve been able to use emails to communicate with our donors, which has definitely steadily increased—to use the emails, the templates, setting up the forms and the campaigns.”
“One of the tools we used does not have a direct integration with Virtuous, but we built the integration. It’s called Slybroadcast. But what is so great about Virtuous is its flexibility and that it has an open API, and we can build integrations like this.”
“Without the automation, what we would have done is either a monthly or quarterly campaign where we just grab a data set and send an email manually, or [put] them into Slybroadcast manually and then bring back the results.”
"We're currently at 345% year-over-year raised. We would not have been positioned to have those donor conversations without Virtuous."
