Overall Satisfaction with Luminate

Luminate is used to send out emails, e-newsletters, donation forms, event registration, and crowdfunding.
  • We were able to customize our peer-to-peer site with TeamRaiser.
  • I like that we can create different donation forms for different purposes and it all comes into our Raiser's Edge database.
  • That we can create groups in RE and bring them over into Luminate.
  • Using Calendar Events we can create registration forms for Science Symposiums and Workshops.
  • We would like to give an option for our users to receive emails weekly or bi-weekly. This option would bundle all our emails that were sent during the week and send them to our user only once a week.
  • When using the WYSIWYG for our emails, there tends to be extra HTML Coding that is added and we often need to clean that up before we send it out.
  • None
This is great if you need to run a peer-to-peer campaign, create donation forms, have registrations for events, and send emails. It does a lot very well. However, if someone just needed to send emails only, this might just be too much.

Luminate Training

  • Online training
The instructor has been great and has done an extremely excellent job explaining everything. Since the training I am finding I can do more with Luminate than I did before.
