Being able to see in real-time what's coming in for each campaign has been powerful. It was especially beneficial with our "Ukraine Crisis Response" campaign. We were tracking that one heavily, so seeing in real-time that donor support was still strong helped us make key decisions in extending our appeal efforts. We raised over $5,000,000 with that campaign, most of which was online.

iDonate has made my job significantly easier! iDonate is an excellent organization. Their software is high quality and they are always wanting to hear from us on how they can make their product meet our needs better. It's not just lip service. I have personally provided feedback on their P2P program and they have worked with me to implement the changes I requested. They help make it an easy and seamless experience in donating to events which makes it easier for our people to raise the funds necessary. Our staff and students are more confident in raising funds because of how easy iDonate makes it to give online. Also, iDonate's customer support is incredible. They're very timely in helping solve issues.

We've seen our donations double in the first two months of using iDonate.

iDonate has been key in moving our fundraising to the next level! They way that their systems directly integrate into our website and events has been a massive help in acquiring funds for both our staff as well as for the events that we run. We had consistently had problems in tracking all of the funds for events, and we were having to go through additional third parties to create event reminders. iDonate gave us an easy way to keep track of these funds, as well as gave us a way to create events! Also, having control over fundraiser pages's content while allowing individuals to create the pages themselves has been a huge help.
