Great Software for Non Profits

This site allows us to easily collect donations for our non-profit organization. We are in the process of exclusively using this site to collect donations in conjunction with Stripe because it is so much better than any other site we have ever used. One con is that donation form codes have to be completely updated on our website, rather than just updating them through Donately and having them automatically update on our site.

PROS

Extremely easy for our customers to use! Great customer service!

CONS

Not the best at allowing us to view all donors and donations at once. Sometimes the filtering is really slow. Form codes cannot automatically update on our website and have to be completely replaced after making a change to the form. You can only link one bank account to where the donations to go.

We recommend Donately

We use Donately for our donation form on our website and for fundraising campaigns. We have always found it the product very easy to use and functional, and the customer service fantastic.

PROS

The customer service is very fast, helpful, and friendly. The basic product is easy to use and has a lot of options that are useful for us. As a small non-profit organization, I appreciate the number of options that we do have using the basic service.

CONS

I do wish we had more options for developing the look and feel of campaign landing pages.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your kind words and honest feedback, Jenny! We're working hard to improve all aspects of the platform, and will take your suggestions into account.

Middle of the Road Functionality

Overall Donately suits its purpose, but it is wanting for some additionally functionality to make it a more robust system.

PROS

The advantage of Donately is the simplicity of form builder! While the software is easy to use, it also contains almost all the essential functionality you could want form a donation form. Forms integrate easily into webpages without much hassle. Campaign management usually works well.

CONS

The donor reporting and management system is insufficient for most purposes. Integrations are not as robust as they could be for the product. Support can be slow moving.

I have enjoyed using the software and each time I have asked for help, I have received the response promptly.

PROS

Being able to see the recurring donations and the dates dates of effectiveness

CONS

The fact that there is no app for the phone.

Vendor Response

Joe - Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate the feedback. While all of our assets are fully mobile responsive, we do understand the benefit of a dedicated app. For now, we hope that our mobile-friendly dashboard, donation pages, and donation forms make for a great experience regardless of device.

Not very good, but this is also due to external factors

PROS

Cheap, easy to set up with many payment options. Monthly and single donation options was the deciding factor in choosing this platform

Difficult to get donations, not enough support

Better options and variations on what we could set up

Donately for small nonprofits

This software is intuitive for our website viewers and has just the right amount of detail for us.

PROS

We like that the ability to customize what our donors see and fill out is not complicated.

So far there is nothing we don’t like! It is easy to navigate.

Easy way for rookies to handle the donations

PROS

It was easy to set up for our team, even for a rookie like myself. I had it easily set up and we started receiving donations almost immediately. The graphs and visuals really helped us to see how we were doing and to see where most of our money was coming from.

CONS

As convenient as this is, for us it still does not replace traditional fundraising, a lot of people in our community prefer good old cash donations so this program was not necessarily as useful to us as we had hoped.

The quickest way to accept donations using Stripe

Donate.ly lets you accept one-time and recurring donations using an easy to configure platform. Fees are a very reasonable 3-4% depending on your use-case. It's quick to customise a secure page which you can embed on your website. It only supports USD at the moment but look forward to international currencies becoming available.

Does the job of a donation page very well

PROS

They are great for setting up a donation page for your nonprofit that only charges a percentage fee.

CONS

I would like if they had a bit more functionality for white labeling and inserting into the website. The only way we were able to figure out how to insert the donation form into our wix website was by using a module that imported an html page. This worked fine but still had donately's branding so we had to put a white block over the top of the module to make it truly white labeled. All over it does the job though.

Great product for NPO Peer to Peer fundraising use.

Donately allowed USARC to quickly stand up a peer to peer fundraising campaign when our old platform was retired.

PROS

ease of setting up account, campaigns and peer to peer fundraisers.

CONS

We wish there was greater ability to control features, like to turn off the Donate button on the events' landing page.

Reason for choosing Donately

On examination it was the fastest, simplest solution for our needs, with responsive support.

Reasons for switching to Donately

Constant churn in product interface, data loss, eventually shut down by company and retired. Did not want to use the company's other pricier options.

Great support, and a pricing model that works for us

We were drawn to Donate.ly because we are rebuilding our online donation and for the volume of expected donations it made a lot of sense. Our backend CRM is salesforce and so we needed to use Zapier to create opportunities and contact records. Bryan Shanaver was quite helpful in getting that set up for us. I want to give features and functionality a 4 but no doubt it will get there with a more advanced recurrent donation logging and foreign currency, a 5 would be non-cash gifts. Make no mistake though it is great value for money, so as they grow I am sure it will be well made. I would recommend it for small to midsize non-profits at its current form.

PROS

Great value for money, awesome support.

CONS

Great if we can do multi-currency as we are a global org. Also if it can note down it is Xth recurrent donation somehow it can make our backend record keeping better.

Perfect for Accepting Website Donations

Overall, donately lives on our website giving people an easy way to donate. They have an easy to use backend which allows you to create custom forms with unique giving options.

PROS

Donately is easy to use, easy to implement on a website, and even has options to set up individual donation pages for specific events. Plus, their customer service team is amazing!

CONS

They do take a bit of every donation, which is name for the game, but also hard to handle when you're a non-profit.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review, Nikki! We try out absolute hardest to keep our fees as long as possible while balancing the needs to grow the platform. We look forward to providing additional value at the same low cost in the future!

Love the company/service! Software could be better!

We have had a great experience with people at donately! We had a couple of issues early on in the process (our fault) that were attended quickly by a real human which was great! The software is missing some functionality that would make it so much better. PayPal integration would be amazing but even Deeper integration with swipe would ok. A mobile app for events would kill all birds with one stone for us. After my experience with other platforms, we recommend donately all the time and are loyal customers.

Lack of integration with PayPal.

Donately has been a real plus for our nonprofit!

Rwanda Children, the nonprofit I serve, has been using Donately for almost two years. Like all nonprofits, we are always on the lookout for ways to stretch or donor's dollars... and Donately has helped us accomplish that. First and foremost, Donately initiated a reduction in their fees charged to nonprofits. This shows me I'm dealing with good-hearted folks! Secondly, they consistently deliver quality service to us by taking great care of our donors. And when our donors have encountered problems (and these have been few and far between) Donately's customer support has been outsanding. Rwanda Children is benefited by our partnership with Donately, and we look forward to that partnership continuing!

Recommend for any small nonprofit

As a startup nonprofit, Donatello helped us provide an avenue to secure funding easily with easy plugin integration. The small processing fees can't be beat which keeps our administration budget low (which everyone loves). The customer service is quick and personal. The only negative I've found is the campaign pages are limited in their design ability, which can also be a pro for those with little experience in design and coding.

PROS

Easy to use, analytics, exports data, plugin integration easily with Wordpress

CONS

Campaign pages - the formatting options a minimum.
