Network for Good

STEPS' Communications Committee uses NFG. Although not everyone on the committee is registered to use NFG, there are 3 of us who use it. One of the business problem we faced in the beginning was needing to create an email blast in addition to a campaign page, which was confusing and time consuming in the beginning.

Our nonprofit is run entirely by volunteers, who want to support the public school we send our children to. Network For Good has reduced the number of hours our volunteers need to commit to efficiently and professionally communicate with donors. We also use NFG to organize and collect donations whether it be for products or monetary. The NFG platform not only helps us track donations, but also gives us easy-to-read reports and visuals to help us more accurately analyze the data. In addition to these awesome tools, NFG also helps us thank our donors in a timely, professional manner. We can see if they received it and when they opened it. Making video recordings for larger donors is an especially nice touch. Our volunteers had previously spent hours upon hours organizing and managing donations. NFG has not only streamlined our work but also made everything look more professional. Our donors are experiencing an increase in confidence that their money is being used wisely to promote our mission. I cannot express my satisfaction with NFG’s support for our nonprofit! Volunteering in this role is joyous again.

We use Network for Good to manage our donors and raise funds for our non-profit organization. It allows us to see who donates, when, how much, etc., and to which campaign at the click of a button. It also supports us with tools for fundraising, like email blasts, videos, newsletters, etc.

Network for Good has been a game changer for us. Our development team uses it to keep track of donations, donors and contacts. It's so easy to develop a list of any kind for whatever we are working on! If we need the info of all $500+ donors over the past 3 years, it's there in less than a minute. Sending out thank you emails and letters is so simple. The graphs that show the donations by month are visually appealing and so helpful! <br>I don't know what we would do without it.

At Mountain Empire Older Citizens, Inc., we use Network for Good for maintaining our fundraising efforts for several programs within the agency. We use the Network for Good software for communications, tracking donations, sending "thank you" letters and emails, maintaining the mailing lists and email lists. The software has made a huge difference in the behind-the-scenes work of fundraising for us. Before we started using Network for Good, our process was in multiple pieces. It has streamlined our communications process and online donation process. We now have the text to donate option through the software. Network for Good is very user-friendly and they were very helpful in helping us import our information and setting everything up. It has opened up new possibilities for us to fundraise that we were not aware of before.

Our non-profit has not adopted a donor management system until we discovered Network for Good. We are using it to build our donor base, track all giving, and regularly communicate with our stakeholders. It is being used by the board of directors and our office administrator. We have solved many problems by recording and tracking giving so that it can be disseminated (transparency) to our directors and stakeholders.

I am using Network for Good across our whole organization to build a new, online fundraising strategy. The current fundraising strategies that we were using were archaic and not working for us. Network for Good offered us the guidance and training we needed to get started. We are a tiny nonprofit agency with a non-fundraising board. It was important for me to choose a plan that would help us now as well as guide us into the future.

We have used Network for Good in the past for networking with our donors and to give information to those who search on Network for Good about the services that we provide. It helps us get the word out to other agencies, foundations, donors, potential clients, etc.

We use Network for Good for our fundraising needs and donor management. We only have five people on staff, therefore, only the Executive Director and the assistant use Network for Good.

Dress for Success Memphis is a non-profit organization that provides interview and work-appropriate attire, confidence boosts, and career development to women making the transition into the workplace. We have set up on several occasions Facebook Donations and Fundraising Drives over the past four years. Just this last year we were granted the JumpStart Fundraising Platform by the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis. Network for Good has provided valuable support and resources that were needed for us to successfully implement and utilize the platform. JumpStart is our major communicator with Clients and Donors. It helps us to successfully get our message as a non-profit out to the Memphis Community.

We use Network For Good throughout the organization for both donation and programming tracking and communication, helping us to craft the right message to our supporters and those that WE support. It's very convenient to have all of our data in one location, and while we do backups locally, it's also nice having a secure cloud-based database.

We use Network for Good for its CRM capabilities as well as its online donation platform. As a small nonprofit, the all-in-one online portal helps us manage our time and resources wisely. In the past we had multiple programs (and hard copy systems) in place to handle mail lists, donor lists, donation tracking, event tracking, etc. Now we have everything in one place and each element is well integrated with the next.

NFG is used to store our donor information, do our newsletters, reporting, texts and event campaigns. The database is used by all of our employees and has been a time saver for us. It provides us with the necessary tools to communicate to our members and donors, provides reporting on several levels (donors, events, etc.) and is easy to navigate.

We use Network for Good as our marketing database. It is used across our whole organization. It makes many of our communications with our supporters easier than other databases that we have tried. We are using "Text to Give" features and also attaching some to text messages to improve our impact. Network for Good is good for reminding us of donors that we need to thank for their gifts. A couple of times a year they provide a free campaign that we can follow to re-engage lapsed donors.

Network for Good keeps our database and donor outreach software in one place and includes an easy-to-view snapshot of the current financial quarter and giving (online and offline) over the past year. Our favorite part of Network for Good is its centralized design--Network for Good keeps your database of donors, email, print mailing, and text outreach (not to mention a great video message tool) in one place without having to log in to multiple sites for different services. It is lighter on the automation side of things, but we have found it a far better product in the long run than Salesforce and Pardot (previously used).

We utilize the data management tool. This tool has allowed us to consolidate our donors; to track individual donations, the frequency of donations, how long since a donor actually made a donation, to categorize donors into groups (which is very helpful for us); and to provide to every donor with an immediate receipt as well as a year-end summary report for their individual tax reporting. The tool allows me to send out broadcast email messages, to create individual thank you videos, to develop focused fundraising campaigns, and to write and deliver our newsletter. I can track tasks, it reminds me to send thank you letters, and I can compare year-over-year performance. In addition to the data management tool, Network for Good provides consultants who are experts at development. I needed that help, as my background is not in development and fundraising. My consultant was wonderful and I learned a lot the year we worked together. Lastly, there are several webinars that you can attend regarding a myriad of issues associated with fundraising. We intend to keep Network for Good for the foreseeable future.

We used Neon when I first joined CFO; getting reports out of it wasn't easy and using the chat was the only way to communicate with Neon's customer service. That proved frustrating when we needed our information right away.
Last summer we searched for a new CRM and after checking a few companies out, we chose Network For Good. We are truly happy with our decision to go with Network For Good! Running reports, updating and adding donor information is simple and user friendly, and when we do need to contact customer service, they answer our call immediately and are available for us.

Moreover, we're able to send our donor e-blasts using Network For Good, which enabled us to cancel our Constant Contact subscription and transfer that money to our programming. I am a huge fan of Network For Good's customer service gurus, particularly Francesca, who always welcomes me and is a true delight to interact with. Thank goodness for Network For Good!

Origin currently uses Network For Good for all email marketing campaigns and it allows the added benefit of incorporating fundraising into every single email/eblast that is distributed. Origin relies heavily on email marketing to generate clients and keep active clients engaged. Network For Good allows us to do this and fundraise at the same time. However, you do not have to fundraise with the emails you send out, they can simply be informative if desired. Network For Good saves us money this way because we do not have to pay for two separate programs. It simplifies fundraising and email marketing for us by allowing it to live all in one place with the ability to stay organized and simple.

When first starting out using the platform, Network For Good staff helped us merge all 15,000 contacts over into the system in less than two days! You can create and save templates to save time and determine the effectiveness of different campaigns. We use it to promote individual programs and the entire organization. It also helps us track & thank our donors, stay up to date with donations, and compare the progress we are making versus the previous year.

Network for Good is our primary platform to manage our giving and appreciation program

We use Network for Good for our donor database to keep track of donations, acknowledgements, and reports. The biggest problem it has resolved for us was the ease of processing acknowledgements for our donors through letters, emails, and videos.

We are a small non-profit, we use Network For Good for our fundraising and for our programs. We are able to send out consistent detailed information, collect payment online and track individuals that have signed up for an event. We are ablr to track and communicate with all of our donors. The program is very easy to use.

We are a non profit led by volunteers that help raise funds for our schools and award grants to innovate the learning experience at Danbury ISD and help bring things into the classroom that the district may not be able to provide. Network for good has helped us in our fundraising efforts by being able to create events, sale items and much more. We also love how easy it is to use and integrate to our website. It has made our workflow so Much more efficient.

Our Development and Finance departments use Network for Good to keep track of donations and to communicate with donors.

Our philanthropic operations have been to say the least nonexistent. Our local Community Foundation saw we were on a tremendous growth trend and recommended we partner with Network for Good (NFG). They couldn't have been more spot on! Since partnering with NFG our private donations have increased 1000% in just 2 short years! The coaching from NFG has helped us develop this area of our operations in both knowledge of best practices for requesting support and donor retention. Our service delivery platforms have also benefitted from this private funding increase, allowing us to serve 4 times as many people experiencing homelessness; Housing First takes funding and NFG helped us to perform beyond our strategic goals. If your agency is ready to take the next step in capacity then call Network for Good!

We're using Network for Good across the whole organization. It's used for donor management, donor communications, event management and ticketing, and donation management. It's also used by our Education department for class sign-up and student communications. I use it in my capacity supporting young composers -- I update them on opportunities via e-blasts, use the event section to coordinate professional development sessions and take submissions for our training sessions via the Forms. Network for Good has consolidated our operations immensely; before we started with Network for Good, we used multiple programs to do the jobs that Network for Good does now. It replaced DonorPerfect, EventBrite, EmailMeForm, and Mail Chimp.
