Product Description

Donately brings a decade of non-profit and campaigning experience into a set of online tools for fundraising & donor management that helps an organizations to make big impact with the least amount of time and expenses.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Donately was built by an interactive agency that focuses on non-profit work - so we know what non-profits need. Our focus is simple: By saving you time managing your donations, you can spend more time improving the world around you.

Donately is simple to use, but supremely flexible.

We truly believe online fundraising should be simple.

What do you like best about Donately?

I love how user friendly it is and I also appreciate how easy it is to get help if I don't know how to do something. Always quick and friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

I wish that I didn't have to use donate.ly and stripe I wish they could just be one platform. However the integration of the two is very seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm trying to find a basic user interface to help with my non-profit and to make donors life as simple as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Donately?

We compared at least a dozen different crowdfunding platforms - what stuck out to us about Donate.ly was their simple design, great user interface, and their great prices. For us - a small nonprofit that has to count every penny - their fee structure was the best option that we could find. We have been thrilled with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

There's nothing that we dislike - we would love it if our users could pay with PayPal - I can't remember if this is an option and simply costs more - or if it is not an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We connect travelers with international volunteering opportunities, and we help nonprofit organizations to host international volunteers. The benefit of Donate.ly is that it helps our volunteers to raise donations for the organizations where they will be volunteering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Donately?

The website was easy to use and very attractive for donors to interact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

It was not clear to me that the fee for using the Donate.ly platform was in addition to the Stripe payment processing.

Second, even off-line donations (cash I received in the mail) incurred a platform charge from Donate.ly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Donately:

Make sure you understand the fees. They are not too different from others in the same industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Raising donations for non-profit work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Donately?

So minimal and simple, it's great to build our own "branding" with it. The low processing fees are great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

A little hard for someone without coding/development experience to build something with it. I had to hire a consultant to build something that we could use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Donately:

Need to know how to code to make the most of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This was a pilot use to see if we could bring donors to join our cause and we briefly switched to another system since it was easier to setup for noobs like me who can't code, but now with a consultant we've been able to do a better job of using donately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Donately?

They keep improving their website. It has become even easier for donors to update their credit cards or other information. As a person in charge of a small non-profit, Donately has been a Godsend for me. I am able to receive donations quickly and efficiently at a very small price. I highly recommend this website! The administrative costs are low and straight forward. The staff is incredibly helpful when ever I have had a question or concern. They get back to me promptly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

I don't really have any complaints before it was a bit tricky for my donors to figure out how to update their credit card info, but as I stated before, they have fixed that to make it much easier for donors to do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Donately:

I would suggest anyone starting a non-profit. This is a great way to collect funds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am using Donately for a non-profit I started to help a school in Guatemala. It has helped me arrange sponsorships for the students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to work with and great team - easy to get a hold of for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

I wish that there were more capabilities to enhance and integration with Salesforce Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have not realized any negatives really except the integration with Salesforce does not exist. But we are providing a land page for donors to give to causes that they have an interest in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Donately?

Fulfills many critical functions that you need from coordinating and sorting mailing lists, to tracking donations, to mail merging and sending out newsletters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Donately?

We have tested many other software programs, and this one was our choice by far. I have no complaints or dislikes at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed more than an excel sheet to track our donors and to communicate with them. We realized that the excel sheet had limited capacity and began to search for a software that could help us do our fundraising more effectively and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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