Helpful but not without downsides
Pros
I have used Network for Good for Nonprofits to collect and track donations obtained through Facebook fundraisers, Charity Navigator, and certain individual donors. The direct deposit option, which is offered at no extra cost is useful in transferring funds.
Cons
The downsides to using Network for Good, particularly to collect donations from Facebook fundraisers, include anonymous giving details (no contact info for further cultivation), a significant deposit lag time, and platform fees.

Some network problems it cannot fix it timely

Could Be Much Better
If you're looking for a donor management system I can't say I'd recommend this one. After stuffing information in a four houred conference call, that is offered as separate classes you can take any time by other donor systems, I felt like they were realizing how behind they were, while still demanding a price tag of excellence they don't yet deliver.
Pros
This program has multiple platforms, so if you only have one need for it you can pay for a separate feature. It keeps great records of all electronic donations you receive. It also allows you to reset your password at a level of ease that most softwares don't provide.
Cons
One of the most confusing interfaces I've dealt with. I had to download donation records once a month and it always took me at least 5-10 minutes to remember what small button to push to get to where I needed to be. I would explore every other option available before I figured out where to go, so I didn't feel like it was labeled in a user friendly manner. They charge for extra features that other nonprofit systems offer for free. I also felt like they took a much bigger cut of the donations than was usual for a system like this. They charge about twice what we paid for donormanagemt, and with a system that already seemed confusing I didn't feel confident paying more for what seemed like much less.

Great CRM for Nonprofit Organizations
Pros
We switched to Network for Good 3 months ago and we are already seeing the great benefits of transitioning. It is a lot easier to navigate than our old CRM platform. The dashboard feature and ability to produce/export reports is beneficial to our Development needs. The customer service and support is superb and very responsive.
Cons
Network for Good currently does not have a grants management component where our funder and donor contacts, grant deadlines, and grant materials can be managed in the portal.

They are expensive!
There are cheaper ways to create a donate page, you just have to do your research.
Pros
It's very easy to use, intuitive, straightforward, easy to set up. They also provide occasional fundraising tips via an e-newsletter that are solid. They offer Peer-to-Peer fundraising as a component of their packages.
Cons
You have to pay for each additional donate page you wish to create beyond what you get in your bundle. They offer different packages, but all have a monthly hosting charge in addition to the standard credit card fee. Once you start using it, it's hard to wean yourself off.

Saying good-bye to NFG
Pros
We've used NFG for a few years now. It's straightforward, does what you'd expect but is expensive for what you get.
Cons
Does not sync with Salesforce. Salesforce has a superior CRM and NFG used to sync with SF but they stopped last year because they want you to use their CRM with doesn't do half of what SF can do. We have to leave NFG for that reason.

To stay with NFG or not to stay... this is the question
No
Pros
I’ve enjoyed the variety of the e-blast templates. I’ve recently had a very good experience w/ Customer Solutions Specialist, Lenny Wrigley who helped me troubleshoot a very urgent request for one of my donors.
Cons
The poor communication between the NFG Team and the customers paying for the services. One example was NFG changing e-mail servers and not warning the good paying customers. We lost a lot of communication with our donors the day before # givingtuesday

Hi Katy,
Thanks for sharing your feedback about your great experience with our support team member, Lenny!
Regarding poor communication with our customers: Thank you for sharing your frank feedback. Hearing from customers is how we make improvements. Speaking of improvements... We're constantly evolving our customer communication and outreach every week. We are working on some team restructuring which will allow us to have better 1:1 as well as more streamlined mass communication with our donor management customers. Furthermore, our customer marketing manager and product manager have started to put together product update notes and we share them at least once a month (when the notes are released they will be the first thing you see when you log in to the donor management system. Various product updates are also included in the customer version of our weekly Tips Newsletter). We're also increasing the number of customer webinars we provide to share strategy ideas, details on product improvements, as well as an open Q&A time with our customer base. We hope you can join us for as many webinars are you are able!
Our team has fixed the issue that delayed some of our customers' email sends that were scheduled around #GivingTuesday. We apologize for our system sending these emails much later than they were scheduled for. Our team identified and fixed the issue after this experience: We have more dedicated servers at the ready to support a large volume of emails being sent through our system at once. Because of feedback from customers like you, we worked quickly to make this improvement before the biggest three giving days of the year (Dec 29,30,31) and we had very few timing issues with email sends after we made this improvement.
If you ever have product feedback or questions for us, you can always reach the team (and most likely Lenny!) by clicking the blue dot to open up the messaging tool in your donor management system. We look forward to hearing from you!

Network for Good is good
Pros
Customer support is fantastic. Has greatly improved our donor impact. Web-based giving is very good.
Cons

An overall pleasant experience.
Overall, we are very pleased with N4G and what they do. We like the service we receive and are grateful that they are always ready to help
Pros
N4G is always helpful, sending me useful white papers on best practices for each season of fundraising, as well as providing excellent customer service when I do have a question. They walked me through step by step when I inquired about upgrading our CRM with them. They're also used by some of the organizations we work with, so it's nice to easily integrate with them.
Cons
We currently have 13K records and we want to see that number grow, but the N4G platform doesn't have the capacity to grow at a reasonable price for us.

Great Payment Processor
Network for Good is a great payment processor. We use it in conjunction with our Crowdrise account for our third party and peer-to-peer fundraising events.
Pros
Features easy to read donation reports that captures all of the essential donor information. Simple export feature for donations and adjustable data ranges to focus in on specific periods.
Cons
The system's design feels old and some updates would be useful. For instance, most pages cannot fit entirely on a screen and scrolling is required to fully navigate the site.

So far, taking 3 months to even convert our data over
I'm very surprised that this system doesn't seem to enable nonprofits to focus on their donor organizations (like corporate sponsors). We've had quite a challenge with this and may have to give up soon.
Pros
The concept seems great for connecting donors, communications, activities, etc. Seems very focused on individuals so not sure if it will end up working for us.
Cons
We can't even get our database accurately converted because their system doesn't seem to recognize organizations, just individuals. So we have spent a few months dealing with this issue, trying to get them to make changes/corrections...still working on it.

I’m sorry to hear we have fallen short of meeting your expectations!
Your feedback is really important to us so I wanted to make sure I let you know how we’ve responded to solve these problems for you and other similar nonprofits. We do have the ability to track companies in the donor management system. It sounds like our training webinars and 1:1 conversations with your customer success manager didn’t make this clear. We’ll make sure to highlight this more in the future.
I chatted with our data import team about the complexities and miscommunication with your data import which I understand is frustrating. They did let me know that we were able to deliver the data to you in a way that does work but I understand that it didn’t 100% meet your expectations the first time. And we are sorry for the hold up! I also wanted to let you know that we have hired more data import specialists to handle more complex data imports in a timely manner.

Basic Web based fundraising platform
Pros
Nice support team and plenty of related info is shared via emails and webinars. Easy to set pear to pear campaigns.
Cons
Donor database is not part of basic service. however everyone who works with such type of software very soon realizes that it is a necessity. So you have to more for something that supposed to be a basic service. Price is 50%-60% more that competitors for the same level of service. PayPal, MailChimp and many other web based services are not integrated.

Mottel,
We’re so glad to hear that you enjoy our online resources and that the peer to peer fundraising campaign set up was an easy process!
We just adjusted some of our software packages and pricing to help nonprofits understand what kind of help and tools they can get from us to better maintain donor relationships, send emails, and raise money online. We will reach out to set up a conversation about maybe switching to a better package that will fit your needs.

Pros
Our nonprofit has been able to scale our marketing, fundraising, and event planning to a higher level thanks to Network for Good. We have 1000% more donors, donations, etc.
Cons
It's a little pricey for us and we had to sign-up for a 1-year contract. However, we committed to making it work for this next year and it has been very helpful so far.

Donations
Seemed to work ok if you were looking to only collect donations but if you need to do dues or tickets it's very limiting.
Pros
Back end is pretty easy to use. Ideal use is Only for donations. I inherited this software and tried to make it work for our needs.
Cons
Doesn't work for dues or event fees. Our members of our association can not make donations by law so this was a problem when the receipt only says donation and can't be changed.
Response: Elizabeth, Network for Good
Date: November 2017
November 2017
Hi Jennifer,
We are very glad to hear that the system has been easy to use and learn by someone who inherited it!
However, you’re right about dues. The system is not built to manage membership fees. You can create some workarounds to make it work. But, ultimately, it sounds like there was a either a change in what kind of tool you needed or there was a disconnect with what our product can do and what you needed to get the job done with dues and membership fees. We’re sorry for this lack of communication on the type of tasks the software was built to do.
Network for Good’s software is built for 501c3 organizations to help them raise money from donors and to track donor and corporate sponsor information in the donor management system so they can keep in contact with those donors via email, text, and direct mail communication channels. We do have an event ticketing page tool where you can sell tickets to events. If you’d like a tour of that, let us know!

Has potential but falls short.
NFG's Donor Management System was selected because NFG had been processing our on-line doantions for several years and we had a good relationship with them. This was our first experience with Donor Management and was a good first step to learn what is possible. However, shopping around would have been a smarter move. We have been using Donor Management for over a year now and are finding it falls short of what is needed. We have a half-time employee and the system was easy to input donors and their donations. As the President I find it helpful to see how we are doing. However, I find the system falls short in several areas.
Pros
Ease of use to manage basic information on donors and donations.
Cons
Is more expensive than some of the alternatives.
Reports beyond what is developed by NFG are a problem. There is no documentation on how to use and set-up accurate screens to give accurate reports. When calling support they cannot explain why the system does not produce the same information when producing similar reports on Donations or Contacts. Thus, I find I cannot rely on the answer. I have even worked with management for over 6 weeks without getting proper resolution to the questions.
Support answers quickly, but do not have answers readily available.
Their ability to establish Wealth Scores is not all inclusive.
Advice to Others
Spend some time to shop around.

User-Friendly!!
As a fundraiser working in a small development office, I appreciate the Network for Good software which provides user-friendly setup and comprehension. I do not have a software background but I find myself having to develop websites, etc... all the time in order to advance my fundraising efforts. With the Network for Good software, setup is quick and easy allowing me more time to fund raise. If I do find myself in a bind with technical issues, the customer service as been timely.
Pros
The pro for me is simple - The account manager!! The account manager is the initial contact the potential client have with the software and company and my manager was patient, knowledgeable and friendly. That goes a long way when sorting through various companies. My interaction with my account manager left me feeling like the entire process at every level would be the same and it has been. I feel like my manager is there to assist and ensure a quality experience allowing me the ability to always reach out to them when I need additional assistance or guidance. I enjoy my experience with my manager so much that when I landed a new job, I called them up and we were able to secure a contract with the new institution.
Cons
So far, I have had now cons in my dealings with the software or the staff. I have even enjoyed working with Network for Good's billing department.
Advice to Others
My advice to others considering a relationship with Network for Good is just that - consider it a fundraising relationship. You will love the ease and use of the software and so will your donors! And let's not forget the superior customer service that Network for Good will provide you, because you will have a relationship and not just a contract!

I keep getting the run around and being told they are working on it and have to wait for a board member to sign it.....yet I have lost money due to this and they are making money on my donations. I can never seem to get ahold of the same person to help me.

We just selected Network for Good as our database moving forward. They have been wonderful to work with and really accomodating to our needs as we exported our data. While we are jumping in with both feet here, we are really happy so far, and are blown away by the little details, like on your emails to donors, blind copy (BCC) your data base and a note is made about that email in their donor record!! In addition, we wanted to link our online giving platform with our database, connect our donors with their social media accounts, and use our database from anywhere.
Likes Least
While donor databases cost a lot, I miss the days of a one time software purchase. Streamlining our donor giving and database to one expense made sense and while the costs are comparable to other competitors, I wish it was less. In addition, we are hoping that as the software evolves they can better link households and household donations.
Recommendations
I highly recommend talking with them as you review your options. We are a small-mid size non profit, and feel this was a great decision for us.

Pros
For three years, I worked at grassroots nonprofit that has been around for more than 2 decades. Network for Good was the donation service we used to accept all online donations.
Trusted among lifetime donor/philanthropist types
It seems like many boomer-aged donors who have been engaged in long-term philanthropy are familiar with and trust the website.
Donation Pages:
Donors can indicate whether they want to make a one-time donation or a recurring monthly donation. As an admin you can pre-set donation amounts and/or let donor indicate any amount that they would like to donate (although there is a minimum donation amount). Network for Good also allows you to customize a set number of campaign pages for no additional charge to their standard subscription fee. As a legacy customer, our non-profit enjoyed the benefit of a grandfathered-in lower monthly rate in addition to access to ConstantContact, which was great.
Reports:
You could pull donor reports (download as excel) by dates and campaign type and then sort by criteria.
Customer service was very good. Wait times were always short and phone reps were very knowledgeable and able to help.
Cons
The interface for customizing donation pages was truly terrible. Even though Network for Good provided design template options, it was very challenging to make the text appear on the page as it was supposed to. You had to go through like 10 different screen categories, in order, and fill out little forms containing the information that you would want to be displayed. When you specify donation amounts, you need to enter them in the order that is to appear lest you want to spend thirty minutes toggling arrows only to have the site freeze.
If the nonprofit I was at didn't have the legacy version that included ConstantContact, I would have recommended getting rid of the subscription. The donation processing fee is no less than that of any other payment processing service. In fact, other sites that do not charge a monthly usage fee (gofundme, eventbrite, etc.) provide much better functionality and even other bonus services.
I get that the site wants to be super secure and that as nonprofit you want to collect as much donor info as possible, but it would be great if people could make a donation without having to fill out ALL of their personal information: name, address + payment address (if different), phone and email. I think that this deters younger donors or anyone who wants to donate quickly/impulse donations.

Pros
If you aren't a fundraising expert, like me - Network for Good is perfect to fit your needs in the nonprofit world. We are a small nonprofit - therefore, Network for Good's templates and customer service allows us to fill in the gaps within the development. As well, we utilize the Donor Coach function and it helps when not having a full-time fundraising director.
Cons
Sometimes I wish some of their templates were more customizable (i.e. changing the color of a button in a newsletter template or rearranging the fundraising pages to my own format). Other that, I love the service!

I was fed up with our previous donor management system. Its user interface was unintuitive. Writing reports was like a physics class. Zero value. I sat in on a demo for NFG and requested a private one. I was SOLD immediately with its beautiful simplicity. Bar none, NFG is the ONLY software system that has immediately helped us raise money. My customer service rep and fund raising expert are beyond helpful. If you're a non-profit looking for a better way to leverage your donor data, go to NFG. These people are the bomb.

Our office has been using Network for Good for 5+ years, and we have loved it! The simplicity, easy reporting and moment-by-moment synopsis of incoming donations has been wonderful. Network for Good recently came out with a donor management system, and we are excited to see the growth in the company!
Pros
Easy reporting, monthly checks from donors, the low percentage rate taken out of donations, everything!
Cons
Nothing!
Advice to Others
If you are a nonprofit organization, seriously consider using this product for your online donations!

We started using Network for Good a little over a year ago for our online donations and some event management and so far have been very pleased with the outcome! So pleased in fact that we are considering investing in their newly developed donor management software. They are responsive and very easy to deal with. They have a wealth of information available to their subscribers via webinars and training materials. Their support team is really excellent.
Pros
Dealing with their personnel, from the sales call to the millionth call for support, they are always professional, courteous, remarkably helpful and very knowledgeable.
Cons
I wish there was a little more flexibility in their peer to peer fundraising pages, making it easier for the person setting up their own fundraising page. The templates can be restrictive.

Our little NGO was looking for a donor database + giving page/payment processing system that would be simpler than bigger industry options like eTapestry and Salesforce, and provide one integrated solution for these needs. Because Network for Good's donor database is new, the functionality is still not super robust, but it meets our needs and the team has been receptive and responsive to feedback and have already added features we've requested since we've been using it for the past several months. We are happy with what we've been able to do with the system to have better control of our donor data without overwhelming our staff with endless fields and options.
Pros
The simplicity and ease of use.
Cons
No documentation (i.e. user manual).
Advice to Others
We are really seeing the need to be able to filter at the household level, because most of our husband/wife donors give together...we link donations to one of the two and the other one will show up in filters as not having given even though they have.

Network For Good Donor Management was the perfect solution for our nonprofit company. It is extremely easy to use and get set up on. One of it's best features is it's ability to create filters for your donors. I can easily sort out donors based on donation amount, last donation date, what campaigns they contribute to, and so much more. This platform also makes it easy to follow up with donors. It can sync up to your email so you can easily track conversations with donors. We are very pleased with this platform!

This is the first time I have ever used fundraising software, and I have been tremendously pleased with my experience with Network For Good. The customer service is outstanding! They are always available to provide technical assistance as well as fundraising tips and advice. The Donor Management System is easy to use and the giving pages are great. Suggestions for improvement would include a better event registration option, as well as the improvements to the email blast system; but one of the best things about Network For Good is that they take suggestions seriously and are constantly upgrading the system based on user feedback. Very happy so far with this service!

Network For Good (N4G) has been an excellent addition to our fundraising team - that team being me, me and only me. The product is very easy to use, intuitive and the support staff is willing to help whenever I need assistance.
The N4G support staff is very attentive to individual needs. No sooner had I made a recommendation regarding a certain functionality and several days later it appeared as a permanent update.
N4G also provides a host of webinar training products and materials. As a new user, I don't think I have scratched the surface regarding functionality and/or reporting capabilities but so far any option I have needed is there. Our board has also been very satisfied with reports to date.
As far as recommendations for future products, I would love to see additional templates for newsletters, eblasts, and peer to peer campaigns or configure the current offerings for flexibility.
Pros
Easy to use, very intuitive, helpful and knowledgeable support staff.
Cons
Templates are somewhat constraining.
Advice to Others
I have enjoyed my experience with Network for Good to date. Very reasonably priced, yet robust enough to give fundraisers a wealth of information at their fingertips.
