DONATION

Donation Software Very Suitable

Kommentare: There are many features I have not investigated as they have not been my priority. If you think of one, it is probably already implemented.
I find it a good program for tracking our church's donations.

Vorteile:

* This software is simple to install and get you started on data entry. * It grows on you as you become more familiar with it's operation. * It is versatile in that it can be used for several entities. i.e. we have a Mission Church in Toronto which is part of our ministry and the records for that ministry can be separated or integrated into our overall book-keeping. * It has a quick data entry feature called "One date donation entry" which we use for data entry from weekly offerings. * It has multiple report forms. * Easy to migrate from year to year. * Prints Donation receipts per Canada Revenue Agency specs. * Restricted functions with Limited user access. * Easy backup and restore feature. * Pricing relative to size of your organization. * If you have a good idea on a feature not included, notify the software writer and he is very willing to investigate implementation.

Nachteile:

* I'm reluctant to give access to another operator as I have slight fear it may be hard to find errors in data entry. My motto is: If you want it done right, do it yourself. * Reports require some programming knowledge to filter reports.

Using a ledger and excel spreadsheet VERY time consuming and this has simplified everything

Vorteile:

ease of data input the reports program they have kept it simple but with many programs within it at an affordable cost simple but detailed.

Nachteile:

not sure if I have one could use more choices in date of input categories so you can run specific reports for those of us who can't do SQL set up.

Donation

Kommentare: This is a great product for our Not for profit as we are still growing our donor base, as we are getting used to the program we find it more and more helpful and are still discovering all the reports that we can pull from it, so that is why I rated it a little lower for ease of use. However have no problem with customer service and support there is always an answer in the same day if any questions. I also recommended it to my church and we use it no problems.

Perfect Fit

Kommentare: After searching ( and I do mean SEARCHING) the internet for an easy to use, to-the-point software for recording charitable giving, I ran across Donation software created by Dan Cooperstock. I wasn't looking for a membership program, and I didn't need to record everyone's birthdates, groups, and blood types. I also wasn't interested in paying an arm and a leg. Donation software has been a blessing. I'm a little disappointed in email options for reports. Unless something has changed since I purchased it, you can't email reports to multiple recipients without saving the document as a PD, attaching the document to an email, and sending it your separate email program. We have several people in our church who receive a summary of each deposit, and it sure would be handy if I could do that. I've gotten into my routine of saving the report and including it as an attachment, so it's not the end of the world. Additionally, so far I haven't figured out how to easily build a report for a single fund/donation category. There are committees in the church who need a report on only one fund from time to time (i.e. memorial, capital building campaign, etc.) Those things being said, I'd still highly recommend this program to anyone who asked, and I'm grateful someone saw the need to create it. There's one caveat, and it is that I haven't gone through a year end. However, if it's as seamless as the weekly recording/deposits, there'll be no problem. Pros: Price is right. Easy to use. Intuitive. Report appearance is attractive. Cons: Report options aren't extensive when it comes to single donation categories and emailing.
