Overall Satisfaction with Network for Good

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Network for Good is being used as the engine for revenue generation, capturing donors, campaigns, results, and allowing us to develop or enhance personal relationships with donors/prospective donors. We have a group of five individuals, our core development team, that meets weekly to develop revenue generation plans and execute them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Database allows easy access to donor and prospect information
Campaign setup and tracking are much easier than in a non-DMS environment
The dashboard is a useful in-your-face reminder

Cons

I'd love to see a funnel management tool--I've created one but it is outside Network for Good

Most Important Features

Database access
Contact and giving info in one place that is easy to access and manage

Return on Investment

Our first integrated year-end campaign saw us beat our goal by 24%
Our first integrated campaign to create sustainers (monthly givers) beat our goal by 180%.
Network for Good and our investment in Jump Start has us focused on revenue generation weekly. When you focus on something, things move forward.

Alternatives Considered

Kindful, a Bloomerang product and Salesforce CMS

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are moving from a paper/Excel-based world into a donor management system, Network for Good is great because all the toys are in one box. As we compared DMS options, other systems might have cost less or had more functionality in a specific area, but Network for Good had it all, and being able to manage holistically meant it was (ultimately) less management overhead.
