Considered Both Products	Kindful, a Bloomerang product Nick Shoff Founder and Executive Director Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product Kindful was cheaper and had functions that better suited our needs. The donation pages and donor management were better than the competitors for the price. Incentivized Helpful?

Barbara L'Italien Bookkeeper Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product The cost alone for Breeze is $50 a month versus Kindful which is approx $330 a month. Add to Kindful the staff hours paid to work with the onboarding experience and mistakes, the investment was a high mistake. Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product KIndful stacks up well against the competition for a small organization with limited capacity. We selected Kindful initially because we thought its simplicity would allow us to have multiple users with various roles input data including donor contact. I've used a lot of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product Raisers Edge has been in this field for much longer than the newcomer, Kindful. One advantage Rasers Edge has is the ability to store copies of correspondence letters among contacts within their database. With Kindful, you would need print copies and store in a file cabinet … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product Kindful is like night and day compared to Neon. Neon is the dark ages in terms of interface and functionality and Kindful is the industrial revolution. Incentivized Helpful? Patrick Palmer Director Of Development Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product We recently added HarnessApp to our software tools. Harness has a strong donor interface but not the backbone that Kindful has to offer. We find them a good match. I looked at dozens of other platforms that compare to Kindful but we always find ourselves sticking with Kindful … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrative Assistant Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product Actually, since I have been here, we have only used Kindful.

TO Tara Owens Executive Director Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product The ease of use of Kindful was far and away better than LGL.

We needed to make the investment in our ongoing growth, and it was … Incentivized Helpful? Leigh Phillips Director of Learning Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product Kindful blows Capsule out of the water as a donor management system. Kindful was built for nonprofit fundraising, where Capsule is better for sales. Incentivized Helpful? AB April Berg Co-Founder & Customer Experience Director Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product We had all of these connected at one time. Kindful still is the best in customer service, and the ease of use making sure what comes in real-time is placed where needed.

Shaelina Holmes Director of Development and Marketing Chose Kindful, a Bloomerang product We also looked at DonorPerfect and Salesforce, and both were too expensive for our budget.

	Kindful, a Bloomerang product
Likelihood to Recommend	Bloomerang Kindful is well suited when: Important to integrate with a wide range of systems such as online fundraising tools or event registration without being tied to a single vendor Small to medium sized organizations looking for an affordable but powerful donor database/CRM Need a powerful but user friendly tool with customizable reports Kindful is not well suited when: You need very advanced customization such as the ability to built entire custom screens You need to track donations in multiple currencies Incentivized Toby J. Weiss Executive Director Read full review
Pros	Bloomerang We particularly love the flexibility of Kindful's donation pages and donation plug-ins. They make it possible for us to accept donations on our website, without having donors have to leave the website. Kindful effectively streamlines back-office functions including acknowledgements for gifts - which saves our small 2-person team vital hours each week. Kindful integrates to a variety of valuable platforms, allowing us to manage all of our data in one place. Currently, we integrate with MailChimp [so all email recipients are segmented in Kindful, emails are sent from MailChimp], Fundraising Report Card, and several custom integrations through Kindful's open API [including one that tracks volunteer events and another that connects to CauseVox]. Kindful's basic metrics and "dashboard" give us instant access to live fundraising results that are shown against historical information - giving us the ability to see how we're doing at all times.

Cons	Bloomerang Detailed custom email campaigns and reports can be confusing to navigate. However, Kindful provides excellent customer support and training to make it as easy as possible. The price can be a turn off for many people, but if you have an aggressive plan to increase funding, Kindful pricing is scalable based on the size of your database.

Support Rating	Bloomerang I have not utilized the support for Kindful very often but the one time I have was fantastic. It was quick, courteous and thorough. Kindful consistently offers Webinars that outline the best way to utilize their product and get the most out of it. I think Kindful does a pretty solid job with support.

Return on Investment	Bloomerang It is great to be able to quickly tell a prospective sponsor how we are doing financially in each fundraiser along with repeat donors that are helping to keep us going. I love that it sends a receipt to the donor immediately (if the email address is included in the profile) without me having to do anything! I am sure our donors love it too.
