"One Stop Shop for Nonprofits"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

We were utilizing a plethora of softwares/platforms to execute our fundraising. Charity Engine puts everything in one place, which helps with donor management and offers a fuller picture of our donor. The customer support team is very responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

Still some kinks to be worked out but having conversations with the support and experience team makes us feel like we are part of the solution. The platform does take some getting used to (not always user friendly) but with the responsive IT support team and extensive resource library make learning the system more accessible.

The end products are clear, nicely formatted, etc. Lot's of features. The onboarding was very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid platform, response support"

5/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

Helped us combine three tools into one: CRM, mass email, and events. Management and support are extremely helpful. Transfer from previous systems and onboarding went smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

To maximize the tool, managers will need to master somewhat complex query and form design skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that CharityEngine helped you bring CRM, email, and events together in one platform and that onboarding went smoothly. We appreciate your note on queries. While they’re great for advanced needs, many users find our built-in reports and simple filters make it easy to get insights without diving into queries.

"Charity Engine Review"

4/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

This is a useful and innovative product for non-profits. Overall, I use it in an events and communications role and find those sections to help us do what we need - send newsletters, create events with tickets, rsvps, etc.

The webinars and monthly product showcases are nice to attend and are pretty helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

The help center can tend not to be so helpful - I either can't find what I need or it is outdated.

The p2p is still developing and has some glitches even in the most basic form we found. The good thing is that it has the ability to hold credit cards, but has some issues with people registering for an event if they are a returning user or already in the database. We've worked with the CE team to help solve these problems and hopefully, they keep improving! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bookkeeper"

5/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

The most helpful aspect of CharityEngine is having an all-in-one platform that manages donor relationships, fundraising, communications, and payments seamlessly eliminating the need for multiple systems and real-time reporting. The integration of payment processing directly within the platform has been especially valuable, as it simplifies reconciliation and reduces errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

The downside to using CharityEngine is not having the ability to customize payment methods. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Meliha Zekovic of CharityEngine

We also wanted to note that we do support a variety of payment methods, including ACH, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, and DAF Pay. If you need any assistance customizing payment options, our team is happy to help at support@charityengine.net

"CharityEngine is very comprehensive CRM"

5/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

CharityEngine is very comprehensive CRM that incorporates regular donation, sustainers, event attendees, eblasts, sms, surveys, donor reports, analytics and so much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

once in a while, a feature or function in CE just stops working. But CE fixes it pretty rapidly.

Not all data fields are exportable/importable

sharing of P2P fundraising pages on social media should be more dynamic. When shared on social media, the image should be the same one that is on the person's P2P page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CharityEngine solving and how is that benefiting you?

the canned compare campaign report is not working well and I believe that is being fixed

The starting bid really should be the starting bid, not the current Top Bid. For example, when an auctioneer says "alrighty folks the starting bid on this item is $100, who wants to start by bidding $100.

Event registration e-receipts need to reflect the proper tax-deductible amount if the registrant covers the processing fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CharityEngine 's payment processing is second to none!"

5/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

What I like best about CharityEngine is their expertise in payment processing and sustainer management. Also, their open APIs and Reporting tools make it easy to integrate with some of the other vendor partners we work with in support of our DRTV sustainer program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

Very little to say here. If I had to pick something, I would say that the more help center articles they can produce, the better - there are so many different things you can do with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CharityEngine solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used CharityEngine at Wounded Warrior Project to drive our Direct Response Television Monthly Donor program. As the payment processing and sustainer management database of record, CharityEngine was very flexible and provided a lot of features and functionality that allowed us to integrate many different vendor partners. It made it much easier for the team to manage everything in the complicated environment we built.

I now oversee Direct Response Television for EasterSeals and will use CharityEngine to build the program from the ground up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi, Dana, and thank you for taking the time to submit a review for CharityEngine. We’re flattered by your kind words! We love that you appreciate that our software makes payment processing and sustainer management a breeze. I also appreciate that, for larger organizations like yours, our open APIs and reporting makes it easy to integrate with other vendor partners that you work with. And don’t forget that when you have thoughts or ideas to share, we’re all ears! You can always reach us at success@charityengine.net.

"Powerful tool, however its use of non-industry standard language can be its downfall."

3.5/5

What do you like best about CharityEngine?

While each of the apps have special features, they all function in similar ways, so once you get to know one app, it's easy to learn others. I also love how willing charity engine is to build out features that can make our lives easier. Staff at charity engine are attentive and always willing to help us find existing features that will serve our needs, or build out new features if those aren't what we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CharityEngine?

I want to see records like households and affiliates built out a bit more. While records roll into household data, it can be hard to pull that data into a single line on report. Something that also can be frustrating is their use of non-industry standard language. There is a bit of a learning curve when we bring in new folks who have fundraising experience and experience with a plethora of other CRMs that all use one language while CE uses another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CharityEngine solving and how is that benefiting you?

First and formost, charity engine traveled to our location to do an on-site training because we as a team were not on the same page in terms of what we could and couldn't do within Charity Engine. This alone was incredibly helpful because many of our frustrations within the system were born out of not knowing what all it could do. They're also building out the way affiliate organizational records talk to each other, which will allow us to see the total impact of an organization without having to look at each child org's record and adding manually. They are also working to see how we can link webforms to records so that the impact of the donation form can be seen in the attributed on the record. They have improved batch entry processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
