Announcing the Top Rated Nonprofit CRM Software for 2019

TrustRadius Top Rated

Today, we awarded the 2019 TrustRadius Top Rated badges for Nonprofit CRM Software. The TrustRadius Top Rated awards are the most trusted in the industry because they are an unbiased reflection of customer sentiment, based solely on user feedback and satisfaction scores. Top Rated awards are the voice of the market and are not influenced by analyst opinion, the vendor’s company size, popularity, or status as a TrustRadius customer.

Nonprofit Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) Software

Nonprofit Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) software organizes and centralizes constituent data for nonprofit organizations. Constituents can include donors, staff, volunteers, event attendees, board members, and sponsors. Nonprofits use these products to help raise funds, manage pledges, send marketing emails, and review metrics. Nonprofit CRM software may also include collaboration features, analytics and reporting tools, workflow and task assignment, and finance management capability.

When evaluating nonprofit CRM software, buyers should consider their budget, including how their constituent size will impact the price of each solution. Some products have a user limit per tier, while others charge on a per-constituent basis. It’s also important to evaluate the organization’s expected growth rate. If the organization plans to expand heavily in the future, make sure to choose a CRM that can scale along with it.

Here are the winners:
