Years back, when we first evaluated products having to do primarily with email marketing, online donations, and peer-to-peer fundraising, our single most important factor was most likely making sure all of the features we wanted were in one single product - and that this product's features would integrate with any existing solutions as best as possible.

We began using Luminate Online in 2008 when the organization was formed from the merger of two nonprofits. Since then we have regularly evaluated other online fundraising solutions (through actual usage for events) and email platforms, but have chosen to stay with Luminate. We haven't found a competitor that can match the features that Blackbaud offers with Luminate, which is why they're an industry leader.

We wanted to have a website that was customized using WordPress but not lose integration into Raiser's Edge when it came to email communications, event registrations and online donations.

Ultimately we did a map to see what our ROI would be on this including implementation fees/set up time etc... and the staff time saved alone made it worth it. Our database, email builder, finance staff, fundraising staff etc, all would be saving hours and hours of work by simplifying the data and the systems used.

We didn’t have an online fundraising software at the time. This was the most recommended one when we first implemented it.

I am guessing at these factors because I wasn't part of the selection process. My org adopted Luminate in 2012 and I joined the org in 2013.

Product features were obviously the most important factor. If it couldn't do what we needed done we wouldn't have bought it.
