A solid choice for non-profits that offers a lot of features for even a small organization
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Araize FastFund Online as our accounting and donor management software. As a small organization, most of our employees use it on a weekly or even daily basis. We record all donations made to the organization, track contact with supporters, use it to track all expenses of the organization, pay bills, cut checks, and manage payroll.
Pros
- Cloud-based so all our employees have access to it from their various remote locations.
- Fund-based accounting.
- Ongoing training on updates and improvements and tech support responses are quick and useful.
Cons
- Initial use of the new payroll features had several hiccups that had to be addressed.
Likelihood to Recommend
I have found FastFund to be a flexible yet easy-to-use accounting and donor support software. Of course, it does not have all the power of something like SalesForce, but then again, I don't need that and my more technically challenged users would be overwhelmed with something like that.
FastFund allows us to track donor support, issue receipts for tax purposes, and even record notes of interactions with donors. We create mailing lists and can easily allocate donations to the specific project as designated by the donor.
We use FastFund for our accounting software. We pay bills, make deposits, cut checks, and allocate expenses to the appropriate projects. We also use the newest module of FastFund which is the Payroll module. I am not involved with using that module, but I do know that it is great to have everything in one package.
