NGO Donation Platform

It has been good. We have used since 2018 and they have rolled out more and more features. It has accomplished the couple things we needed it to do successfully. Beautiful forms that are customizable. I didn't see need for use of WP plugin even though we use wordpress, it didn't really add much there.

PROS

We loved giving donors the ability to login to recurring gift management. It also allows donor to cover processing fees (and they use it if it's there!).

CONS

Still being developed out dashboard. I've been wanting to see on receipt how much donor paid (like a split) of donation fees. Not able to do that yet.

Reason for choosing Donorbox

Pricing at the time.

Reasons for switching to Donorbox

Better forms.

Trustworthy and simple

DonorBox has been instrumental in increasing our fundraising donor base and cash flow.

PROS

It was easy to set up and is trusted by our customer base.

CONS

I really haven't found a downside. There was a learning curve setting things up but it wasn't insurmountable. We have multiple forms now.

Reason for choosing Donorbox

Because first, DonorBox came so highly recommended. Then, when our monthly revenue was below a certain amount there was no charge for the DonorBox services.

Reasons for switching to Donorbox

DonorBox is much less cumbersome and easier to use. PayPal doesn't allow automatic deductions.
