iDonate helped launch our start-up ministry!

We have a SMALL back-office infrastructure. With one, full-time employee, who has his hands full executing ministry, we needed something simple for our online giving. iDonate has been so helpful. We have created numerous individual projects that people can give to, with dedicated pages. People can go directly to the cause they care about most. These pages are so easy to make, we have delegated the creating of our landing pages to volunteer teenagers! And they can do it without any hassle. We love iDonate!

Pros

As a start-up ministry organization, we needed the online giving to be EASY. iDonate was the perfect solution for us. Many of our donors have a "Go Fund Me" mindset, when it comes to supporting individual projects. iDonate made it easy to create individual campaigns, for donors to go directly to a project they wanted to support. This has even worked with the teenagers, who love instagram -- having an easy link in a bio with a dedicated page made giving so easy. The giving platform fit perfectly into everything: our website, facebook pages, instagram, and more.

Cons

iDonate simply works. Can't think of anything.

iDonate seamlessly makes our online giving successful!

We run monthly reports from iDonate and this helps tremendously with our accounting reconciliation. Many of our donors use the recurring monthly, quarterly, or annual donations, which makes it all the more smooth at our end. We also like that we receive notification of the donation when the donor receives their receipt--this helps our donation processing system.

Pros

iDonate's website is very user friendly and easy to navigate and understand. Using iDonate for specific campaigns makes tracking the donations so much easier. We love the option to have donors select recurring monthly, quarterly, or annually. Donors receive a receipt and we are notified of the receipt to keep track of in our system.

Cons

We had a bit of difficulty with landing pages, but customer service was great with their prompt assistance.

iDonate

Pros

A great multi functional platform with website embeds, text to give, fundraising pages, etc.

Cons

Price was a large turnoff for us. It was not comparable to the competitors anymore with so many free options, and options without contracts and monthly fees.

Not worth the money for our purposes

Met them at a conference and set it up. Thought it would do ore for the money and cancelled after a few years when I bothered to find out what else was out there.

Pros

Hands off ability to collect donations, made my life simpler than having to reach out to the donors all the time

Cons

Cost per month wasn't justified for the very limited features we had. We switched to another option at no cost and increase in features.

4 years with iDonate - Highly recommended

Pros

A dedicated customer support rep who is responsive, proactive and cares about our success. Multiple giving options for our donors both in what they donate and how they donate. Reliable platform Automation and customization of donor receipts Ability to accept donations from international donors Donors can set up a login to easily manage their donations

Cons

For a non-technical person who wears many hats within our small non profit, setup and new feature integration can sometimes take time to figure out. That being said, when I have had any issues that I couldn't figure out on my own, our wonderful customer support rep has helped solve any problems via a phone call or email.
