Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud NetCommunity

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Blackbaud NetCommunity as our main source for online fundraising. We create various pages for our various events, schools, and philanthropy groups that request a donation page. We import our gifts daily and track our progress of online gifts from NetCommunity monthly. We have seen great increases in our online giving and plan to continue to use NetCommunity. We are also starting to use everydayhero for our peer to peer fundraising so that sharing the link and building momentum can be easier (NetCommunity does not allow for messages or social media sharing).

Pros and Cons

Pros

Online fundraising is easy
Building pages is simple
Can have multiple pages for multiple events

Cons

Easier import

Return on Investment

We have seen an increase in our online giving
More teams are using online giving now that creating their pages is easy

Alternatives Considered

Blackbaud Mobile Pay

We use them for different purposes. Mobile Pay allows us to take payments at events for the donor rather than directing them to a site. It makes it fast and simple but it does not have a great comprehensive report for importing.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for building multiple pages for multiple events. It does not, however, allow peer to peer fundraising and is not super social media friendly. We are using other programs for that. Building pages in NetCommunity is easy!
