Pros / Cons
  • We have uploaded our core contacts data, integrated with Mailchimp and added grant application management with no need for any paid support from Beacon.
  • Training was slotted in when suited me (even though poor [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was in Australia so not always the best timing for him).

  • This platform has aided us in running many successful fundraisers while being able to keep track of donors, funds coming in and tickets sold.
  • I do not like that Admins cannot add or edit payment information, I do not like that Admins cannot process partial refunds, I do not like the virtual auction sign up--it requires too many steps, and I do not like that an Admin cannot mark an auction item "Complete" if a person pays offline.
