FundRaiser Basic
"Thanks!! I love the software and it has made our small charity a delight to manage. I also recommended it to a client, who then purchased the full package and has used it successfully to manage thousands of donors, create very professional letters and significantly improve their operation." -- Michael D., Trident Consulting Group, Massachusetts
"I appreciate your software's simplicity, but that it's also complete, thorough and affordable! Thanks! Your technical support people are terrific as well." -- Lisa, Forgotten Angels
"Thanks for your prompt response for my request for a demonstration CD. I have used your program on a trial basis and it seems to be what we are looking for. I am impressed with the import feature, and was able to import our donor base of 400 names effortlessly." -- Ralph, Soledad Community Health Care District Foundation
"I've been using FRBW for several months now. Our Mac based nonprofit bought a PC to run your software and I have no regrets. We love the program, and donations are increasing!" -- Keith, Imagine That Ministries
"I can't believe all of what you get... (for FundRaiser Basic)! And, it's extremely user-friendly." -- Carol S., St. Louis, MO
"I am campaign manager for _____ who is running for Jackson County commissioner. I just found your program and was impressed. I find it easy to use and intuitive. Keep up the good work!" -- Aaron H., Oregon
"We were fortunate to find your software through the internet and found it to contain all the necessary tools that the more expensive software packages have but at a fraction of the cost. We could never afford any of the fundraising databases we viewed but were able to purchase and implement the FundRaiser Basic." -- Lois, Centre County Youth Service Bureau, Pennsylvania
"I can attest the success of year-end letters! I sent out about 600 letters in December, thanking people for their gifts that year and asking for a year end gift.... We generated $4,500 in less than a month, with more coming in. FundRaiser Basic makes it so much easier to track and work on these kinds of 'personal' fundraising approaches." -- Jenifer S., Bogus Basin Lifetime Sports Education Foundation, Boise, ID
"You will be proud of me. I managed to figure out the import. ... I have always been "manual shy" because the wording and lingo always raised more questions than it answered. Yours is definitely different. I could really understand it. The import wizard also made it very easy." -- Bonnie W., St. Michael's Academy, Texas
FundRaiser Select
"Thank you guys so much for all the hard work and for having to coordinate from different parts of the world with such speedy service. We greatly appreciate it!" -- Aleen D., American Library in Paris, France
"I've used FundRaiser Select for about 2 years. I was 'confused' at first because it was so easy to use. I haven't regretted purchasing it for a moment." -- Maureen, Neighborhood House in Peoria, Illinois
"OK Now we're really impressed. Data transfer worked the first time. Most clean-up work is due to inconsistent data entry on the original data base. We're now about a month ahead of schedule. If setting up mailing labels goes this smoothly I don't know what we'll do." -- Melinda and Olivia, Jewish Council of North Central Florida.
"We used the trial version you provided to TREMENDOUS success, and raised $7000 needed to buy new chairs for our community theater." – Troy R, Actors Inc, Ames IA
"We are gearing up for our first campaign and I find the information in your newsletters very helpful. Our Associate Director passes her subscription on to me but I feel now I need to get it first hand. Thank you!" -- Patricia, Chautauqua Alcoholism & Substance Abuse Council (CASAC), Jamestown, NY
"As a FundRaiser Basic (and now Select) user, I can't say enough good things about it. The programs are great, the tech support even better." -- Sandy S., Durham County Library, Durham NC
"First of all, I love this program!! It's wonder-bar... I am self-trained with what little knowledge I have on the computer and I am flying without a net for the most part as no one else around here knows much either. (she's a very typical user)" -- Elizabeth, Islamic American Relief Agency, Missouri
"I think what you have done with FundRaiser Select is great. It fits my needs... and is DEPENDABLE!" -- Dave S., The Angelus, Hudson, FL
"As a new user of FundRaiser Jr (now called Select) for just 2 months, this has been a very exciting experience... I quickly found it was very easy to work in and learn. For the first time ever I am able to track each individual campaign, each individual donor and groups of donors." -- Yvonne C., TMM Family Services, Tucson, AZ
"Wow, I am just loving FundRaiser Select - it is sooooo easy to navigate and everything is laid out so well....good job!" -- Linda, MATS, Morristown, TN
"Just a quick note to say "Congrats" on the windows version. Our small staff has had the opportunity to begin to work with it and Larry has been great at assisting Debbie with installation and data transfer stuff. Today was the first day that I really had an opportunity to spend much time with it and it was intuitive and impressive!! Great work and....thanks for a wonderful tool for those of us with minimal bucks and little computer savvy!!! It is underpriced!!!!" -- Don M., President & CEO Children's Harbor, Inc.
"I am happy to recommend your software. In the interests of appearing non-partisan, I keep trying to find a software program that is as good as yours, but I can't. The main problem really seems to be the technical support. I have NEVER heard a complaint about your technical support. I cannot say that about ANY other software company. Some I can say I have only heard complaints about!!" -- Kim Klein (fundraising consultant, author) Berkeley, CA
"We are so happy with your fundraising software and spread the word whenever we can!" -- Pat B., First Witness Child Abuse Resource Center, Duluth, MN
"I have no idea how to use this system yet, so I was all over the map. But the system is idiot proof enough that I was able to pull out a complete listing of current members.... so my mailing was very painless thanks to this system." -- Eric, San Francisco Performing Arts
FundRaiser Professional
“I have been in charge of the FundRaiser database since I started in June of 2008. It was a very easy database to learn and use. I used to own a software company that created a database for the insurance industry so I have a lot of knowledge about databases. Considering the complexities of this database the search and report features are very easy to use and powerful. It has been a pleasure to learn this software and I would recommend it to anyone. “ - Larry Arnold, Donor Care Manager, Children of the Nations International
"We love the program, it's a magnificent tool." --Sue, Art 180, Virginia
"As the new development director, I have recently been trained on FundRaiser Professional, as has my Adminstrative Assistant, Olivia. We have found the software to be straight-forward and very easy to learn. Olivia just commented the other day how user friendly the software is. We are also both pleased at how efficient and supportive Tech support has been." -- Terri, Lansing Christian School
"I'm now working at ____ (another agency), where we're limping along with _____ (a best-selling competitor's product). It's very powerful, but it's so complicated that we have a hard time using it. In fact, we got a mailing from them just the other day in which they said, Now there are FOUR ways you can enter data - we all said "oh, no, we haven't figured out the first way yet." Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I recommend you to all my friends, and wish that we could be using FundRaiser here instead." -- Sandy, Baltimore, MD (a previous user of FundRaiser Professional)
"As grassroots organizers, I believe we are only as good as our lists. This software has really made a difference in our ability to keep track of people for all purposes, not just fundraising." -- Eliza, Montana NARAL
"This program has been a huge asset to us here at Washington State NARAL... This (donor management software) is in many cases the single most expensive aid to campaigns and there is a lot of junk out there in the world. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with FundRaiser Professional and your technical support has been nothing short of a blessing." -- Sheri, Washington State NARAL
FundRaiser Support and Training
"I have no technical skills whatsoever, yet I found it very easy to teach myself how to use the program. I must tell you how much I enjoy your informative, well-organized presentations. I look forward to the next sessions. I did what you said, and of course it worked perfectly. Your support for the program is wonderful!" -- Judy J., West Plains Public Library Foundation, Missouri
"The technical support at FundRaiser is second to none. There is always a technician available, and the technician has ALWAYS advised us quickly and accurately. This is an invaluable service. Thank you!" -- Paula, Women and Children's Horizons, Inc., Wisconsin
"FundRaiser is definitely getting an evaluation +++ for support. I especially appreciated the coordination of your support, marketing, and development teams. Thanks again for your rapid and to the point response." -- John B., ITS Manager, West Bay Opera, Palo Alto, CA
"What I appreciate most is there's a live person to talk to!" -- Susan H, Evansville Bar Association

"It's so refreshing to work with a company that ensures such high quality support responses as you have done for us for years!" -- Diane M., Public Education Partners, Aiken, South Carolina
"Tech support was of tremendous assistance to us today – she walked our staff through the pledge module, taking the necessary time and patience to ensure our first pledges were entered correctly. Our level of confidence has greatly increased on a go-forward basis in relation to this module. We appreciate the one-on-one attention." -- Darren, Canadian Cancer Society – Newfoundland & Labrador Division, St. John’s, NL
"Those guys in tech support are wonderful and a great asset to FundRaiser." -- Maude S. Interfaith Community Services, Arizona
"We just want to write to say thank you to both you and Larry for all your help and support during our software conversion. We have really learned a lot and are feeling much more comfortable with the software. It has been such an exciting process and we are already feeling the benefits of using this program! Again, we are truly grateful and look forward to speaking with you both in the near future." -- Collene, Penobscott Theatre
"Your Larry Weaver [tech support] made magic and walked me through the process [of upgrading to next level of FundRaiser program]." -- Jo, Petaluma People Services Center

"I also want to tell you how pleased I am with Larry and Travis' support. Endlessly patient, extremely knowledgeable, and able to understand and speak non-techese- I have never encountered a help desk duo like them. They are terrific." -- Glena, Polly Klaas Foundation
"Thank you very much, Larry, for a great class... you are always so pleasant and easy to understand... we really appreciate your training!" -- LoriAnn, Boys & Girls Club, Tulare
"Thank you so much for your quick attention to our technical support issue at Life's Kitchen. We really appreciate your personal consideration and realize that as President of your company you have gone above the call of duty to meet our customer needs... we're looking forward to working with you in the future and raising lots of money with your product!" -- Sunny and Kathy, Life's Kitchen
"You get an actual person most of the time when you call. I mean they answer the phone, not after holding for 15 minutes!" -- Sandy S., Durham County Library, Durham NC

Although Community Shares has only dealt with your company for a short while, we have been impressed by your prompt response to questions and requests for help.

"Thanks a million for your help. You know how to make people happy. Your patience and quick attention were more than one could hope for." -- Joan, Tirimbina Rainforest Center
"Thank you for all of your assistance with our donor management software. Your help was invaluable. It is so nice to be able to talk to a person instead of a machine to answer your questions.

"I am amazed that such inexpensive software has such direct, immediate and competent tech support available!" -- Danae C., Hostelling International, San Francisco, CA

"Everywhere I go I have been telling colleagues about how great your product is. Now I will tell them how valuable your technical support is too. Thanks a lot." -- Barbara S., Madison Community Health Center, WI
"I'd like to thank you and Larry for your prompt and successful assistance in clearing up my problem with the dbf and dbt files. I plugged in the fixed master def anddbt files and all is working correctly. Since I use FRB almost everyday to keep track of ongoing contributions to our 501c3, I've come to depend on it working without fail! Thanks again for your help." -- Tim, Fellowship of Reconciliation
"Now that's service! You left us with our communal jaws hanging... Last week we called you explaining that we had a problem with our FundRaiser Basic program - you corrected it immediately! not in a few hours, not the next day, but then. We are in the middle of planning our major fundraising event of the year. As fate would have it, if a problem was to occur, it was sure to occur at this time.
