Not only does it offer these great features but it collects information and gives you data for the funds you have made. > > **Cons**: I didn't find anything I disliked about basic funder\! I would recommend to anyone in the nonprofit field. ----- ### "Great non-profit software" — 5.0/5 > **Gordon** | *7 February 2024* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best features of BasicFunder is their support. I have never such good support. We pay the $120/year support, but are planning on going up to the online version which is $35/month > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve to creating reports. I needed to spend the time to understand this feature before I got full value from it. > > I love BasicFunder. I am the treasurer of a small non-profit organization and I would quit before I switched to another product. ----- ### "Intuitive, User-Friendly Nonprofit Database" — 4.0/5 > **Ellyn** | *10 September 2014* > > When we created our first nonprofit organization six years ago, we needed a simple donor-based system that would be easy to learn and use. A friend recommended BasicFunder, highly praising it for offering everything needed at a low price. I tried it out and found that it did indeed give me everything I needed in a database. In fact, it helped me become more organized and shaped the way I corresponded with our growing group of donors. Whenever I ran into an issue that didn't offer an immediate, intuitive solution, I found the user's manuel well-written and informative, and, if that didn't help, a quick call to friendly customer service always provided my solution within the hour. If I could change anything about the system, it would be to add more flexibility to the letter writing function. There is no way (to my knowledge) to save drafts of letters, or PDFs of processed letters onto the computer. You must copy the text and paste into an email or word doc if you want to send it to someone other than the recipient. (Which sometimes comes up when you need something edited or proofread, or if you want to save a processed letter for future reference outside of the database.) The graphic designer in me would also prefer a larger selection of fonts, and the ability to insert photos into the letters. One other down side is that I am normally a Mac user, and hoped that a Mac-compatible version of BasicFunder would one day be released. But I must say that this hasn't stopped me from using the program. It is so affordable for the organization and easy to use that I have installed software on my Mac to be able to switch to the PC operating system. When we started to have people from different states using the same database, we thought we might have to switch to an expensive web-based program instead. But the Basic Data Safe feature allows us to save changes off-site so that other users can download those changes from wherever they are. This, too, is quite affordable at one cent a day. Overall I have been very satisfied with this program and would recommend it to any nonprofit with typical needs. ----- ### "Hard to live without" — 5.0/5 > **Tom** | *20 January 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: robust, ability to customize reports, fields that are intelligent to the real world (I don't have to shoe-horn data into obscure or wrongly-titled fields), quick support > > **Cons**: This is necessarily a complex software, so it takes some 'playing' to understand it. This isn't a fault of the software'just a bit of a learning curve that is inherent in data management for fundraising. > > BasicFunder has the flexibility and built-in-intelligence to understand our development and fundraising needs. Off the shelf, it provides a robust platform for gathering and managing data and transforming that data into meaningful information. When there are questions or issues, BasicFunder staff are very quick to respond. The program is easy to use, but I would encourage new users to be sure that they understand the underlying logic of the database before entering too much information. The program comes with a sample database so you can play without damaging any data. ----- ### "Basic Funder Fits the Bill\!" — 4.0/5 > **Fraser** | *17 January 2012* > > **Pros**: - ease of operation - ease of install - clean interface - clear manual - easy to use for general computer users - OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SUPPORT\!\! Should be 6 stars\! - Any issues/questions addressed quickly - response times are excellent, and answers are detailed and effective - product offers generous customization features, in many areas. - excellent value for cost of acquisition - ability to e-mail from within the program, i.e. PDFs of receipts > > **Cons**: - some actions are not as intuitive as they could be, but this is a very minor concern - only reason it did not get a 5-star rating. - would be nice to have some more flexibility in some areas - however, any suggestions for improvements are acted on, and implemented quickly (only reason it did not get a 5-star rating for that catagory) > > As a smaller United Way, we were looking for a cost effective, yet powerful tracking tool for our donations and receipts one that would move us away from the basic and cumbersome Access database system we had been using for a number of years. Basic Funder certainly fit the bill, and more\! The system allows very easy tracking of donations, and the effective creation of receipts. We wanted the ability to generate a more appropriate thank you letter, to go with the receipt, and are pleased with what we are able to do. The report-generating feature also assists in generating details for our accounting software of specific donations, and other reports. This feature rich product, coupled with the outstanding support package, makes it ideal for us would not hesitate to recommend Basic Funder to other non-profit and charitable organizations. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/103792/basicfunder?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/103792/basicfunder) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
