Pros:
It's relatively easy to use and when I don't understand something, your support service is readily available.
Cons:
There are features on BasicFunder that I still don't use because I don't really know what they're for or how to use them. I guess I need a refresher.

Pros:
We use this product for our volunteer database. It allows us to keep track of volunteer hours, events, and their personal information. It is so easy to make a group and contact that group of volunteers for a certain event. Direct mail is our best friend for saving time when it comes to getting information out.
Cons:
I use this product a few times a week, and I have no complaints! It is a great addition to our non-profit!

Pros:
This program is simple and packed fully of powerful tools for a reasonable price. After initially setting up the program, I was able to show others how to enter contributions and produce receipts and reports in very quick order. I have installed the program for our church and a volunteer pregnancy care center. I have recommended to two other firms. This is not a bookkeeping program like QuickBooks, it is a donation receipting and volunteer tracking program. It allows you to track and reports on donations by donors, events, funds, appeals, etc. It does what QuickBooks non-profit version cannot and will not do. The program does interact directly with QuickBooks posting financial information in either summary or detail. BasicFunder gives us the reports needed. And the customer support gets a 5-Star rating (Thanks to Walter). I highly recommend BasicFunder for churches and para-church organizations.
Cons:
While you may not need to send things often to Microsoft Word, when you do, it exports things in RichText format. This will be frustrating to some.

Pros:
The reports that are able to be produced. Mostly I love the software program and recommend it. The customer support is very helpful and always willing to take the time to explain.
Cons:
Some of the reports are difficult to figure out how to produce - if it is not a common report. But this may also have been easier for other people.

Vendor Response

Our built-in "common" reporting is very easy as you said. Just select the report, date range and filtering you want. These are all point and click. Debbie, you are referring to our ad hoc - User Created Lists - where you build your own by specify the fields and criteria to select the records to make your own special report. Yes - it can take a bit of time to understand the data and structure in order to use this function easily. Thank you for the review!!

Basic Funder Review

We have been using BasicFunder for a little over 4 months. The data migration was almost painless. There are always a few hiccups of things that need tweaking after importing from another system. The support has been the best I've seen for any product. Always get back to you same day sometimes within minutes. They make customizations for you almost instantly. The product does more than most similar products and at an affordable price! If it doesn't do what you want they will make sure it does. The interface takes a bit of getting use to as you can tell its designed by a programmer but it has all the features we need and has automated some things like generating month end fund reports. It creates multiple files automatically which is ideal for non profits that need to send a fund report to fund managers. Great Product and superb support!

Basic Funder Ease of Use

4

In having never worked with a software program that centered around fund raising before, I wasn't sure what to expect. At first it seemed like a lot to take in, but as I learned how to use the features on Basic Funder, I have become very pleased with this program. I am able to enter in the pledges, assign the donor to a group and have the banking even labeled as to where the funds have been allotted to. I use the reports in multiple fields to cross reconcile and check for errors from the data entry level. I haven't used the excel spread sheets yet, however, I have printed reports on my donors by their donation amounts and have been able to better communicate with them based on their donations amounts and the frequency of their giving, which can be all tracked. There is still a lot for me to learn about Basic Funder, as I am certain that there are more features that I could use that would better serve my purposes. Overall I am very pleased with this program.

Pros:
Customer Support is direct access to the program's designer, complete full answers, solutions and friendly. The database is easy to learn to use and has many functions built in. It is limitless (or so it seems) in the number of donors you can have in the database. Reports are quick and can include a lot of information. There are tools for analysis and statistics and many other functions. The letters to donors are completely customizable and changes are very simple.
Cons:
There is nothing bad about this product that I can think of.

Pros:
The program is easy to use and enhancements are made to make the program that much better. The customer support is fantastic with help just a phone call away. The screen is visually appealing and easy to navigate.Reports are what we want and need. Other reports can be created easily. We have used the program for two diocesan appeals and I am still learning new features that will help get the job done faster.
Cons:
There is not much that I can say that is negative. When i have asked for support it was provided. When I needed enhancements they were made.

Great Software for Charities

We chose Basic Funder because it seemed to have all we needed to track the donations for our charity at a reasonable price. When I started working with it, I realized it had the potential to do so much more than I even needed! Though sometimes I think the program is a bit too congested in the amount of information on the screen, once you are used to what you have to do, it's very easy to input. I also LOVE that the entries can be uploaded into QuickBooks so no more double entries!! Support is always available with a quick phone call, and Walter is very knowledgeable and helpful. He will not stop until a solution is found and he believes that you understand how to continue on.
