### "Love this product!"

September 30, 2021

5.0

Population segmentation, donor profiles, prospect identification, upgrading, lapsed risk outreach, stewardship outreach.

Pros

The GivingDNA team listens to clients and develops the product according to feedback provided. Plus, many other products do not allow you the flexibility to "do it all." GivingDNA is a one-stop wealth and marketing data shop that can segment and provide donor profiles.

Cons

As a new product, there are still a few bells and whistles being developed. I have faith that this will be addressed over time.

### "Save your time and sanity "

August 2, 2021

5.0

My department and organization is aware of who are top donors are, which donors are about to lapse and which donors need to be upgraded. Using the Giving DNA has decreased our lapsed rates and has saved us so much time. I use the data from Giving DNA to also start planning year end campaigns.

Pros

The dashboard, ability to segment your donors, detailed insights on individual and file giving, the customer service and availability of account reps.

Cons

Certain features weren't user friendly and unable to export but they have been fixed as the software has grown. There is not much that I don't like about the Giving DNA!

### "Highly recommend"

September 30, 2021

5.0

Excellent! And I feel like there is even more to learn to get the most out of this tool!

Pros

The Client Success team is amazing at helping you learn to use this took and to help it work for you! It's truly surprising that there isn't an additional cost for this with as much value as it adds!

Cons

It can be a little different to understand how to use it at first as it's not a traditional CRM tool. But the prospecting and donor insights can't be match anywhere else.

### "Game Changing Outcomes"

June 14, 2021

4.0

The GivingDNA dashboard and analytical tools have provided our team with the reporting necessary to develop our "Wildly Important Goals." We are providing measurable data to our senior leadership team and board of trustees. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], our Client Success Ambassador, has become an extension of our overall Donor Engagement team. He continues to support our efforts to set exponential versus incremental goals for our donors.

Pros

GivingDNA pairs well with our donor database (Raiser's Edge), providing direction on database clean up, prospect marketing, and retention deliverables.

Cons

The YOY retention stats on the overview dashboard are confusing, and would be more helpful if it pulled the same number from the Giving Dashboard.

March 14, 2022

The ability to target directly what you're wanting to do, using your donor informatin.

### "Effective, Useful, and Caring Support"

March 14, 2022

5.0

There are so many great benefits to GivingDNA but the greatest is having them on your team. Their support and help to improve donor work is so valuable!

Pros

I love the versatility of the product and the ability to drill down to find the people I am looking for. I also LOVE the support the Giving DNA team provide. They are always willing to answer questions and find new ways to help me do my job.

Cons

The reports take a few minutes to populate. Sometimes I have to wait and I would like to see the reports immediately. I just need to be patient.

### "Excellent Tool for MidLevel Donor Growth "

December 5, 2019

5.0

We are building a strong midlevel giving program with a very small team. Causemo allows us to prioritize our communications for maximum impact.

Pros

The ease of use and aggregate data sets are perfect. You can tell that this tool was built by a nonprofit practitioner for nonprofits. It just plain makes sense and provides exactly the data points I need to build a successful midlevel donor program.

Cons

It is a newer product so there are still a couple of features being worked on such as the ability to delete individual lists.
