(1-25 of 45)We want to grow and succeed with tech
- I can talk to my current donors monthly, or weekly. The software makes it possible.
- I can upload pictures that tell the stories
- I can ask techs questions and they reponse
- I would like to send emails to lapse donors, and the present system slows me down
Easy to Use Customer Management System
- Easy to customize email/newsletter formats
- Financial donor data is helpful
- The ability to send a thank you to a donor directly from the "giving" acknowledgment is fantastic.
- It would be nice to receive the donations in the same month that they are made. At the present time, you have to wait until the 15th of the following month.
- The peer to peer fundraising options are a little clunky
- Using Donate Now function to receive disbursement information is clunky

Network for Good puts the "Fun" in "Fundraising"
- Capable of setting up e-mail groups to send information pertinent to the group
- The customer support has been fantastic from setting up the system to coming up with strategies to maximize fund-raising
- The system is user-friendly and easy to learn
- The challenge was setting up donor information in a format that was compatible with the Network for Good system
If an organization has targeted fund-raising activities, you cannot use the basic level of the system. When Paladin started with Network for Good, we were not aware of this. When we set up the system for the annual golf outing, that is when we learned we had to pay an additional amount for targetted events.

- Sometimes the site feels too busy on the administrator - there is a lot to track. Requires serious attention from the site administrator
- It would be helpful to interface all contacts even from other programs with our network for Good Platform automatically.
- I would make direct deposit the automatic default for receipt of funds
Great comprehensive event planning site - bringing a suite of online support services and pre/post event follow-ups. We used it most recently for out annual program gala and age now in the process of using it to weave the gala seamlessly into our ongoing project and program avyibotird.

- Timely Communication

- Friendly Staff
- Adding more functions to use besides for fundraising
- Creating email blasts from scratch
This user rates Network For Good 10/10!
- Top-notch customer service! The Network For Good team is responsive, genuinely courteous, and knowledgeable about the product.
- Communication options are available for all donor preferences, from good old-fashioned direct mail to email, text, and video. And all are easy to use!
- Creating forms for surveys and other data capturing is very easy, as is construction of reports on donors and donations for management use.
- Love the format options and drag-and-drop functionality -- including embedding videos -- for newsletters and email engagements.
- Would love to be able to modify my dashboard to graph and chart the campaigns and designations I want to see. I don't understand the algorithms behind what is served up for display. For instance, would like to be able to separate members from donors on the dashboard.
- Would like to see the donation refund process an online process.
- When cloning a form, such as for a survey, would like to be able to change a question or field without having it affect prior forms.
Makes time for fun fundraising!
- Organized database with good details and prompts for complete files
- Tabulates reports of donors daily and over time
- Makes the organization more transparent to all stakeholders
- Helps with lapsed donors
- Reminds staff of fundraising deadlines
- Individual contact listing being required before the company or business causes some business to be dropped if the individual leaves the business
- when you have a donor who donated both as a business and as an individual sometimes one or the other does not come up in the listing when you search for an amount for the year
- FaceBook donations being identified by at least who did the fundraiser, not the donors. I do a birthday fundraiser every year for Caring Carroll and there is no indication that it came from me. The money comes in but we do not know where it came from who held the fundraiser.
- The fact that the FaceBook donations go into our Network for Good database before we even have the money is confusing.
It is user friendly. With the prompts throughout the entry, even a volunteer can do the data entry.
Specialized software that saves soooo much time!!
- Offer templates for fundraising emails
- Keeping donor history
- Tracking over all donations
- Tracking the effectiveness of different fundraising campaigns
- Customer service
- The only thing that I can think of is the price. For a small rural non-profit, the expense so far, outweighs the income.
- They downloaded my contacts into their system with a variety of categories at no extra charge
- The templates and fundraising ideas
- The ability to set up a variety of campaigns that I can run in various places; email, social media, live events
- The analytics. I think they have thought of everything in this category!
- Improved Customer communication
- Fund Raising Campaigns and Graphs
- Data Entry tasks are valuable, especially at volunteer level
- We now have a newsletter that we don't have to mail out.
- Improved graphics for board meetings and committees
- Importing and Exporting documents could be easier
- Allow us to upload a newsletter to send out to customers via email
Network for Good - The White Glove Experience!
- Customer Service is IMPECCABLE.
- They have MASTERED the on-boarding process!
- The follow-up is impressive!
- Transitioning from a different platform to Network for Good was seamless!
- More communication around closing out individual accounts is critical. We thought the account with EveryAction was closed but it was not. We were charged for two months. We are still being charged by the Paragon (merchant account). So, it is important that they nail that transition process.
Excellent Product
We use it exclusively fo fundraising and tracking our donors. Saves me tons of time. Time is a tremendous challenge being an almost upstart organization.
- Responds to needs of customer

Excellent customer service!
- On-boarding support

All is Good using Network for Good!
- Increase donation for our annual Gala.
- Build relationships with new supporters.
- Importance of holding and building strong relations.
- Possibly explain a little more on the front end of the plan. I was a little confused as to what I was getting involved in. But I do enjoy it.
Great Product!

- We are able to have multiple fundraisers in one place.
