Product Description

Virtuous is a nonprofit CRM designed to simplify donor management. It's available for Android, iPhone, and Web.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

The world of fundraising has changed, and traditional fundraising tactics are less effective than ever. Today's donors expect a personal connection to the causes they care about.

The problem is that while giving is intrinsically personal, most nonprofits are handcuffed to outdated, intrinsically impersonal software.

But there's good news.

Non-profits using Virtuous can dramatically boost giving and retention using modern technology. Technology that empowers them to cultivate personal relationships with every donor, regardless of gift size.

We call this responsive fundraising.

Virtuous is the only responsive fundraising platform designed to help you listen to your donors, create hyper-personal connections, and make the right suggestions at the right time.

This means you...
- Learn more about the interests and behavior of each donor.
- Gain insights into their giving capacity and social influence.
- See how donors engage with your website and emails.
- Make decisions with confidence, knowing your data is accurate

What do you like best about Virtuous?

Built in features necessary to a thriving nonprofit: Integrated payment processing, flexible giving/lead/pledge forms, automated acknowledgement/receipting, built in email marketing, robust data health tools, best in class workflow automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

Major Gifts tracking is more "ask" focused than constiuent focused. It works well for my team but may not be the desired format for every org. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Virtuous provides a robust plug-and-play solution for nonprofits that want to spend less time on systems and more time with constituents. Many databases are too thin on features and don't empower their users. Other databases are clunky, bloated, and can't get out of the users way. Virtuous walks a good line of serving up the information and metrics an organization needs to be successful while being unobtrusive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

Virtuous is an amazing database system that is easy to use, user-friendly, forward-thinking, and the customer service is outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

There are still areas that can be improved, and Virtuous continues to listen to its customers and implement those improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our nonprofit organization receives a large number of planned gifts that we recognize as revenue. In many cases the donor would like to pay off their future commitment. Virtuous allows for a planned gift to be booked the same way as a pledge which is something other databases do not allow you do. It is important to keep the integrity of the gift type as planned gift, because it allows for vital information regarding the gift versus a pledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

Virtuous is built to help organizations be responsive. It is user-friendly, intuitive and most importantly it helps organizations reach donors at scale. The automations are amazing and help create really meaningful touchpoints with supporters and I love the scoring that's built in. I also love that the marketing and CRM are built together, so I can see all donors' activity with the organization all in one place. As someone who has used Raiser's Edge, Salesforce, Kindful and Salsa, Virtuous is the best fundraising platform/CRM I have evaluated or used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

This is a hard question to answer because I really love Virtuous. The price point is higher than some other fundraising platforms, but you get what you pay for and since it truly grows with organizations and helps them grow, I think it's worth the investment up front. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Virtuous helps with better managing relationships with supporters and prospects. It can be especially useful for small teams that are trying to juggle every aspect of fundraising/nonprofit management. In the same way, it can be beneficial for large teams with specialists as they can hone in on the features that are most applicable to their roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can't find things easily, the user interface is not user-friendly. I can't see my total funds ever received. Pages load very slowly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kelly Cristaldi of Virtuous

We appreciate you taking the time to detail your experience thus far. What you've outlined here certainly does not match our Virtuous Promise and commitment to overall Customer Success. We're disappointed that we've missed the mark!

When is a good time for you to connect with our team? We would love the opportunity to establish a path forward that reinstills confidence and excitement in your team, and prevents similar issues from reoccurring.

Again, thank you so much for providing this feedback to us. We care deeply about the success of our customers and look forward to making that evident in our future collaborations.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

Virtuous offers giving pages that will meet the needs of receiving donations. We run a platform for sending coffee for donations given, and respectfully, they are not a fulfillment style of system. After spending a month learning how to operate the basics of Virtuous, it has a nice feel to it. They are constantly updating things to improve user experience. With unlimited users to their system and unlimited queries for assistance through their email channel, that is a big plus for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

They offer an academy of videos to help you learn how to use the program which is nice, it takes about a week to complete those to know how to use them. They do offer an account rep to help escalate issues and their staff is extremely nice. However, their response time on support issues can be 1 -5 business days, depending on their workload. They do not offer a phone support service option yet, but I know they are working towards making that a reality. Their automation platform for sending automated emails lacks assistance and ease of use. I would enjoy more of a plug-and-play feature. Their platform offers a generous amount of email usage per month, and their email-building platform for plug-and-play is in process for upgrades. With time, I expect they will be a great program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Virtuous is designed to be CRM for us that receives donations and allows us to see who are the people who give and we can manage them. They allow us to see the donations easily, but running reports and seeing them on a daily dashboard can prove to be cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

I love the integration ability. Our non-profit can sync our email system, donor wealth screening software, and a whole source of other things. Overall, it's really user-friendly and a lot easier to find what you're looking for compared to other outdated software like The Raiser's Edge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

While the initial training was helpful, the more hands-on training was redundant and unhelpful in determining how to use Virtuous specifically for our organization's needs. Additionally, any further specific training costs more, which seems to boarder-line nickel and dime customers. Further, it would be nice if you could make specific global actions, like updating donor wealth data for people in our database, rather than manually entering each contact individually and updating the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There aren't any problems Virtuous is solving that benefit me. While they have an overall great product, there are certain limitations (globally updating donor wealth data and having a working mobile app) that aren't being solved that would benefit the work I'm doing the most.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

Virtuous has integrated smoothly with our website and has become more than just a CRM to manage donor relationships. I love that the functionality extends beyond that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

We joined Virtuous early, it seems, and there have been many updates since. That's both a blessing and a curse as our organization has benefited from the updates, but we've had to adjust our practices more than once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have saved money overall by utilizing Virtuous as a single source for receipting, e-newsletters, online campaigns, and a CRM instead of outsourcing other companies for these services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We work with over 150 nonprofits and manage multiple CRMs. Virtuous provides the easiest and cleanest donation entry process we have. We also provide consulting to clients in business process implementation and Virtuous automations are vital to ensuring all functions are working efficiently and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

As with any new system, it takes time to get up to speed and understand the various functions. Thankfully the user interface is intuitive and easy to grasp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping data clean and trustworthy so actionable next steps can be taken with confidence. Automations provide efficiencies and proactive data analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

Virtuous has been a beneficial asset to our nonprofit. The database is easy to use, and it's pretty simple to navigate. The Virtuous Team is always available to help, and the new features rolling out have been helpful for the team. We are an international NGO and had some specific requests through the onboarding process, and they were able to accommodate every single one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

There is a learning curve and while the video tutorials have been helpful, there's a lot we want to utilize and continue to take it step by step Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to see a complete picture of how a donor is engaging with us, it's also easy to track our interactions with our donors and we anticipate the automation will be key in growing our donor base without requiring additional staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Virtuous?

The system is built out which makes it easy to implement, yet it's easy to customize data fields to make it our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Virtuous?

Utilizing Virtuous's marketing tools allows for personalization, but the customization around making it look exactly like I want isn't yet integrated into the system.. Virtuous is quick though with updates, and so I expect I shouldn't have to use my workarounds all the much longer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Virtuous is helping to organize my data, ensure that my marketing is personalized, and making me more efficient with communications/touchpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
